Biography
of Patti Carr Black
Patti Carr Black until recently was Director of
the Old Capitol Museum of Mississippi History in Jackson. She
currently lives in Belhaven, Mississippi, where she is "comfortable
in her roles as publisher and editor," according to Lynette
 "Hanson
in the Jackson Free Press in 2005. Her numerous works are all
non-fiction and about important things and people in Mississippi.
She is guest curator of the exhibition The Mississippi
Story at the Mississippi Museum of Art in Jackson.
According to Hanson, Black says that she "had
to do a lot of written research projects, answering inquiries,
writing catalogs for exhibits at the Old Capitol" and became
acquainted with the printing process. As a result Eudora
Welty’s World, comes from Patti Carr Black's
own Edge Press. Eudora Welty’s World was
an idea Black had discussed with Welty to take
her words about nature and complement them with the right images.
The endeavor took Black about fifteen years to complete.
Black, now 74, continues her work as writer, publisher,
and editor.
