Stan Rice




Stan Rice (1943 - December 9, 2002) was an American poet and artist and
husband of writer Anne Rice (married 1961). He was a Professor of English
and Creative Writing at San Francisco State University and retired as
Chairman of the Creative Writing Department in 1989.

Stan Rice wrote poems as chapter introductions for his wife Anne's Queen of
the Damned. He has seven volumes of poetry published, his last, Red to the
Rind, released in early 2002. He published a coffee-table book of his
artwork in 1997, calling it simply Paintings. He was the proprietor of the
Stan Rice Gallery in New Orleans, Louisiana.

It was the death of the couple's first child, a daughter Michelle at age six
of leukemia, which sparked Stan Rice's becoming a published author. His
first book of poems, based on her death, was titled Some Lamb, and was
published in 1975. He encouraged his wife to quit her work as a waitress,
cook and theater usher in order to devote herself full time to her writing.

Both encouraged their son, Christopher Rice, to write as well.
