| Albert Huffstickler
|
Huffstickler's biography is best found in his poetry, fiction, essays, and art. he came into his own as a poet both within the rich poetry scene of Austin and eventually in the international small press scene. He began the Hyde Park Poets Series, sponsored various workshops, presented readings, and began to travel with his poetry. He won the Austin Book Award in 1989, with the publication of Walking Wounded, a book based on a stay in a convalescence home following back surgery. Also in 1989, the Texas Legislature passed a resolution honoring Huffstickler for his contribution to poetry in Texas. And in 1997, a tribute to Huffstickler opened the Austin International Poetry Festival. Huffstickler has published hundreds of poems in journals throughout the world, from the academic to the underground. Many of his own poems are found under the Press of Circumstance imprint, whereas many others appear in chapbooks published by other presses. Book-length collections include Walking Wounded and Working on My Death Chant, both from Back Street Press. Why I Write in Coffee Houses and Diners. Selected Poems (Authors Choice Press) is currently available from www. bn.com.
