1942

Stanley Travis Rice Jr. (November 7, 1942 – December 9, 2002) was an American poet and artist.

He was the husband of author Anne Rice.

Rice was born in Dallas, Texas, in 1942.

He met his future wife Anne O'Brien in high school.

They briefly attended North Texas State University together, before marrying in 1961 and moving to San Francisco in 1962, to enroll at San Francisco State University, where they both earned their bachelor's and master's degrees.

Rice was a professor of English and Creative Writing at San Francisco State University.

1966

It was the death of his and Anne's first child, daughter Michele (1966–1972), at age six of leukemia, which led to Stan Rice becoming a published author.

1973

Two series of recordings – one from 1973 at San Francisco State University and the other from 1996 at the poet's New Orleans home by filmmaker Blair Murphy – capturing Stan Rice reading several of his poems are on the YouTube site dedicated to the poet.

1975

His first book of poems, based on his daughter's illness and death, was titled Some Lamb, and was published in 1975.

He encouraged his wife to quit her work as a waitress, cook and theater usher in order to devote herself full-time to her writing, and both eventually encouraged their son, novelist Christopher Rice, to become a published author as well.

1977

In 1977, he received the Academy of American Poets' Edgar Allan Poe Award for Whiteboy, and in subsequent years was also the recipient of the Joseph Henry Jackson Award, as well as a writing fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.

1988

Rice, his wife and his son moved to Garden District, New Orleans, in 1988, where he eventually opened the Stan Rice Gallery.

Stan Rice's paintings are represented in the collections of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art and the New Orleans Museum of Art.

He had a one-person show at the James W. Palmer Gallery, Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, New York.

1997

Knopf's Victoria Wilson, who edited Anne's novels and worked with Stan Rice on his 1997 book, Paintings, was particularly impressed by his refusal to sell his artworks, saying, "The great thing about Stan is that he refused to play the game as a painter, and he refused to play the game as a poet."

Rice was an atheist.

2002

Poet Deborah Garrison was Rice's editor at Alfred A. Knopf for his 2002 collection, Red to the Rind, which was dedicated to novelist son Christopher, in whose success as a writer his father greatly rejoiced.

Garrison said of Rice: "Stan really attempted to kind of stare down the world, and I admire that."

Stan Rice died of brain cancer at age 60, on December 9, 2002, in New Orleans where he lived and was survived by Anne and Christopher, as well as his mother, Margaret; a brother, Larry; and two sisters, Nancy and Thia.

Rice is entombed in Metairie Cemetery in New Orleans.

The Art Galleries of Southeastern Louisiana presented an exhibition of selected paintings in March 2005.

Prospective plans are underway to present exhibitions of Rice's paintings at various locations in Mexico.

In Prism of the Night, Anne Rice said of Stan: "He's a model to me of a man who doesn't look to heaven or hell to justify his feelings about life itself. His capacity for action is admirable. Very early on he said to me, 'What more could you ask for than life itself'?"
