Elton D. Higgs

I am a retired professor of English living in Jackson, MI, with my wife of almost 64 years, Laquita, who is also a retired professopr and writer. I was educated and raised in Texas, receiving my undergraduate degree from Abilene Christian College in 1961. I earned a Ph.D in English from the University of Pittsburgh in 1965 proceeded to join the faculty at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, where I spent 36 years. I have written scholarly articles on medieval and Renaissance authors such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Milton. I have also published a book of poems entitled "Probing Eyes: Poems of a Lifetime." My writing is strongly informed by my Christian faith, reflecting my extensive biblical studies and involvement in church life.
