Jack Saunders grew up in Delray Beach,
Florida, dropped out of high school and
enlisted in the USAF, served overseas, got out and went to junior college,
reenlisted to get the GI Bill, graduated from Florida
State University
and did graduate work at FSU and Tulane, in anthropology. He stole the last year of his NDEA fellowship
at Tulane to stay at home and teach himself to write. He started writing September 1, 1971.
He writes a book a month and posts the books online at The Daily Bulletin (www.thedailybulletin.com). A bricks-and-mortar publisher, LitVision
Press, published an ink-and-paper book, Bukowski
Never Did This: A Year in the Life of an
Underground Writer and His Family, as it had appeared, online. The library classified it 818.5203, American
Literature in English, Miscellaneous, same as Hemingway’s A Moveable Feast, revised.
He spent a year barnstorming for poetry along the Redneck Riviera when
the book came out (2005). Now he sits in
his room and writes. It’s a
high-residency do-it-yo’self (DIY) program.
He rarely leaves his writing room, except to go out into the world and
gather material, as opportunities present themselves. He went to a high school athlete reunion in
2011. Before that, he went to see his
brother in Vermont, as his
brother was dying.
