OccupationPoet, editor
NationalityAmerican

Jared Carter is an American poet and editor.

Life

Carter is a native Midwesterner. He studied at Yale and at Goddard College. After military service and travel abroad, he made his home in Indianapolis, where he has lived since 1969.

He worked for many years as an editor and interior designer of textbooks and scholarly works, first with the Bobbs-Merrill Company and later in association with Hackett Publishing Company.

Poetry

Carter writes in free verse and in traditional forms. Much of his early work is set in "Mississinewa County," an imaginary place that includes the actual Mississinewa River, a tributary of the Wabash River. In recent years, as he has published increasingly on the web, his poetry has ranged farther afield.

His poems have appeared in The New Yorker, The Nation, Poetry, and other journals in the U.S. and abroad. His work has been anthologized in Twentieth-Century American Poetry,[1] Contemporary American Poetry, [2] Writing Poems, [3] and Poetry from Paradise Valley.[4]

His first collection, Work, for the Night Is Coming, won the Walt Whitman Award. His second, After the Rain, was given the Poets' Prize. He has received two literary fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts,[5] a Guggenheim Fellowship,[6] and the Indiana Governor’s Arts Award.[7]
