William Matthew McCarter is a Pushcart nominee whose writing has been in numerous publications. McCarter’s youth in rural Southeast Missouri has informed both his creative and nonfiction writing. He lives in his childhood hometown in the Arcadia Valley with his wife, Melissa Miles McCarter, and son. He is currently a professor of Literature at Southwestern Illinois College.
Matt is one of the editors of Trash Told Tales: An Anthology of White Trash Literature. He talks about the good, the bad and the ugly about being white trash.
Trash Told Tales features writing by seventeen scholars, essayists and poets whose work is unsparing and lewd, poignant and at times funny. With unflinching honesty and sometimes-gratuitous profanity, they write about petty theft and STDs, domestic violence and substance abuse, mullets and Wal-Mart and gasoline pumps and Velveeta. They spell wresting “r-a-s-s-l-i-n-g” and have insatiable affinities for fried eggs and canned Coca-Cola. They write about homes both broken and unbreakable, both violent and hospitable; telling tales of fiercely-bound families who would kill one another just as easily as they would kill for one another.
Always reading to open another book,
Rob + Janelle
