Matt Carter

A former parking attendant, dietary worker, autoclave operator, OR tech, and registered nurse, Matt Carter returned to his first love of language and literature in 1997. A decade later, he earned his doctorate from Oklahoma State University. An evolving writer of fiction, his interests in that and his other area, 19th Century British Literature, involve how memory intersects with landscape, particularly in childhood but also with adults involuntarily displaced from their native place. He is also interested in the concept of death and its many psychological and sociological implications in contemporary writing and literature of the long 19th century.

A longtime resident of Roanoke, Virginia, Matt is an avid college football fan, and also enjoys pro football (the Dallas Cowboys), traveling, cooking, and film.
