Steven Carter, the only two-time winner of Italy's coveted Nuove Lettere International Poetry and Literature Prize, received his Ph.D. in English from the University of Arizona. He is Emeritus Professor of English at CSU, Bakersfield.

Steven Carter's triumph is to have established a sort of universal ethic of 'how to be,' while promoting at the same time a holistic view of human beings in individual social, cultural, and psychological contexts.
