The Porter Fund Prize was established in honor of Ben Kimpel, the beloved Chairman of the English Department at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, where he taught from 1952 until his death in 1983. Kimpel asked that the prize for Arkansas writers be named for his mother, Gladys Crane Kimpel Porter.
We wanted to make sure that the Porter Fund Prize community was aware of a biography of Kimpel is available for purchase on Amazon (the link is below). The biography is written by Susan Wade Wink, wife of Johnny Wink.
