General Profile
After studying with Donald Hall (US Poet Laureate 2005-06) at the University of Michigan, Ken Lauter has published poems in a number of journals and several books, including: The Other Side, Before the Light (both from BkMk Press, University of Missouri at Kansas City), The Ghosts - Notes from a Field Study, Songs from Walnut Canyon, and Grand Canyon Days (all from Xlibris). He has also completed more than twenty additional collections. His early work has been compared to Robert Lowell's, and distinguished poet William Meredith (US Poet Laureate 1978-80) has said that Ken's poetry displays "a splendid and various gift."
His awards include a Hopwood Award for poetry, an American Academy of Poets Prize, and a Shubert Playwriting Fellowship, and he has also written several plays, including The Dancing Apsárás - or Captain Willard's Blues, a prequel/sequel to Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now. Ken has taught literature and creative writing at four universities and worked as a mayor's aide, a university administrator, and a grass-roots environmental activist.
Ken and his wife, Dr. Judy Lauter- a neuroscientist and author of How Is Your Brain Like a Zebra? A New Human Neurotypology (Xlibris) - currently live in Nacogdoches, Texas.
