Jack Myers

    Jack Elliott Myers was een Amerikaanse dichter en pedagoog wiens invloed generaties studenten vormde. Zijn poëzie duikt vaak in diepe menselijke thema's en onderzoekt de complexiteit van het leven met scherp inzicht. Myers' toewijding aan literatuur bleek niet alleen uit zijn eigen productieve werk, maar ook uit zijn lange dienstverband aan de Southern Methodist University en zijn medeoprichting van het literaire centrum The Writer's Garret. Zijn nalatenschap leeft voort door het werk dat hij inspireerde en de schrijfgemeenschap die hij hielp koesteren.
