Men and Women of Distinction: Miller Williams

The general public might remember Miller Williams as the man who delivered the inaugural poem at Bill Clinton's second inauguration; however, this Arkansas poet has secured literary stature far beyond this accomplishment. According to one critic who noted Williams' gritty, plain-spoken style he is described as the “Hank Williams of American poetry,” with poetry that is “read and understood by squirrel hunters and taxi drivers.” In this documentary, hosted by Ernie Dumas and featuring a one-on-one interview with Miller, viewers get an up-close and personal look at one of America’s great contemporary poets.

Based on the Arkansas PBS series Men and Women of Distinction, each course features an Arkansan whose life has had a profound effect on the development of the state, the character of its people, or its image beyond our borders.

Men and Women of Distinction: Gene L. Hatfield

Born in 1925 in Conway, Gene L. Hatfield was one of the state's most prolific artists, with paintings and sculptures numbering in the thousands. His work is most closely compared to that of the post-impressionist masters. A true Renaissance man, Hatfield tested his hand in nearly every form of artistic expression—acting, writing, song, dance, painting and sculpture—and challenged preconceived ideas of what is and is not art. In this documentary, narrated by Nicole and Gene Hatfield's daughter, Mathilda Hatfield, and featuring interviews with the artist himself, viewers get an intimate portrayal of one of Arkansas' renowned men of letters.
