He has been anthologized in countless magazines and collections in the United States and abroad, from Best Poems of 1963 to The Best American Poetry 2004.Named John Aldridge Collom by his parents, he was born in Chicago and grew up in the small town of Western Springs, Illinois, spending much of his time hiking and birding in nearby woods. He studied Forestry at Colorado A&M College, spent four years in the U.S. Air Force, then worked in factories for twenty years while writing poetry. In 1956 Jack married Edeltraud Maria Teresia Hopps in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. They moved to the United States in 1958, eventually settling in Boulder, Colorado. They had three sons; Nathaniel, Christopher, and Franz. They divorced in 1974, and Jack had a daughter, Sierra, through a second marriage, to Mara Meshak. He is currently married to writer and curator Jennifer Heath.He received his BA and MA from the University of Colorado, on the GI Bill, and has taught creative writing to children of all ages for forty years. Teachers & Writers Collaborative has published three books of Jack's reflections on this experience, notably Poetry Everywhere and Moving Windows.

In 1989, he pioneered Eco-Lit, one of the first ecology literature courses ever offered. Some of his accomplishments as an environmentalist-poet are documented in American Environmental Leaders: From Colonial Times to the Present.
