Biographical Note Hiram Hubert Creekmore, a native of Water Valley, Mississippi and cousin (by marriage) to Eudora Welty, was a novelist, poet, critic, editor, translator and photographer. Born into a distinguished and affluent Southern family, Creekmore's artistic work is thought to illustrate ideals much different from the conservative Southern values with which he was raised.
