Author Biography
Samuel Minturn Peck, a notable poet, was born and raised in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Despite initial opposition from his father, Peck cultivated his passion for poetry in secret, submitting his work to newspapers under an assumed name. After completing his MA in literature at the University of Alabama, he pursued a medical education at Bellevue Hospital Medical School in New York City, although he never practiced medicine. Peck's literary career flourished with the publication of poems, articles, and short stories in prominent newspapers and national magazines, earning him recognition as Alabama's first Poet Laureate from 1930 until his death in 1938.
