- Helen_Norris abstract "Helen Norris (born June 22, 1916 in Miami, Florida) [1] is a novelist and short story author who has lived most of her life in Alabama. Although most of Norris' work can be considered southern literature she also wrote many stories set in many places around the world, often preferring to write what she imagined than what she knew [2]She began writing as a child and graduated from University of Alabama in 1938. Her first book, "Something More Than Earth" was published in 1940. The book, though given a nice sendoff with a party attended by, among others Margaret Mitchell [3], was not a commercial success. Norris stopped writing after the birth of her children but began again in the 1950s with one novel unpublished until the 1980s and another, "For the Glory of God", that was published in 1958. In 1966 she began teaching English at Huntington College in Montgomery, Alabama until her retirement in 1979.Following her retirement, Norris actively pursued her writing career with several published books. Her short stories have appeared in Southern Review, Sewanee Review, Virginia Quarterly Review, and The Gettysburg Review, among other literary journals. Her honors include O. Henry Awards, a Pushcart Prize, and the Pen Women's Biennial Award for best novel.Two of her stories have been made into television films. "The Christmas Wife" was filmed in 1988 starring Julie Harris and Jason Robards for HBO and was broadcast for several Christmas seasons. "The Cracker Man" was filmed for PBS stations in 1999.Norris was Poet Laureate of Alabama from 1999 to 2003.".
