Green Is Certain: An Autobiography with Selected Poems (Volume One) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781664151529)

A second-generation Texan, Judith Lauter was born in Austin. When she was nine, her family moved to Michigan where she later met her husband, the poet Ken Lauter, in a poetry-writing seminar at the University of Michigan taught by Donald Hall (US Poet Laureate, 2006-7). The couple has subsequently lived in Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma, and now make their home in Nacogdoches TX. Judith holds a BA in English literature (Univ. of Michigan Honors College), three master's degrees (creative writing, Univ. of Arizona; library/information science, Univ. of Denver; and linguistics, Washington Univ. in St. Louis), and a PhD in communication sciences (Washington Univ. in St. Louis). She taught and founded/directed human neuroscience laboratories at four universities (Washington Univ. in St. Louis, Univ. of Arizona, Univ. of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, and Stephen F. Austin State Univ.) for more than three decades, before retiring in 2012 and returning to her first loves, poetry and photography. In addition to scientific articles, chapters, an educational video, and books (including the popular-neuroscience title, How is Your Brain like a Zebra? Xlibris 2008, ZebraBrain.net), she has published poems in a number of journals, and won two Hopwood Awards for poetry (Univ. of Michigan), an Academy of American Poets prize (Univ. of Denver), and the Norma Lowry Memorial Prize (Washington Univ.). Her prize-winning photography has been compared to Eliot Porter's; reproductions are available at FineArtAmerica.com. As of 2020, she has published ten books of poetry-and-images.
