Ken Wheatcroft-Pardue: I'm an essayist, poet, and fiction writer living in Fort Worth, Texas. I've had poems published in California Quarterly, Borderlands, The Texas Observer, two anthologies of Texas poetry, and many other publications. My essays have appeared in The Texas Observer, San Antonio Express-News, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Fort Worth Weekly, and other venues. Stories of mine have been in Lynx Eye, Hardboiled, Verdad Magazine, Concho River Review, Amarillo Bay, and The Write Room, among others. In 1994 I was a juried poet in the Houston Poetry Fest, and in 2004 my chapbook earned a finalist designation for a Dobie Paisano Fellowship and was twice a finalist for Dallas Poets Community chapbook contest. In April 2011 I was a featured poet at their First Friday Reading. In 2012, I won the Sid. W. Richardson Foundation's Educator's Award so I could attend the Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference. Also, I was one of 4 runner-ups for The Texas Observer’s 2013 short story contest. My poem "Those Old Fans of my Youth" earned an Honorable Mention in the 2013 DPC Poetry Contest. In 2020, my poetry book What I Did Not Tell You was published.
