Nancy Corson Carter

NANCY CORSON CARTER, grew up in Pennsylvania's Susquehanna valley with a farming and gardening family. Her love of learning led to a Ph.D. in American Studies. She taught 31 years at Eckerd College and is professor emerita of humanities . She continues in her interdisciplinary vocation as writer, photographer, workshop leader, and environmentalist. Her published books include the non-fiction Martha, Mary, and Jesus: Weaving Action and Contemplation in Daily Life, three books of poetry, Dragon Poems, The Sourdough Dream Kit, and A Green Bough: Poems for Renewal (2019), and also three chapbooks, Patchword Quilt, Near the End of the Rainy Season: Poems from Japan, and Sunday Dinner at the Farm. Her recent memoir, The Never-Quite-Ending War: A WWII GI Daughter's Stories, reflects impacts of war through her lifetime as she seeks peace and healing in both inner and outer worlds.

Of her 2019 book of poems she writes "My poetic quest is to hold in tension the opposites of a celebration of the natural world and, in a time of great destruction, a call for its repair. I intend to evoke a saving love for the bodymindspirit of this amazing planet that is our home."
