Jayne Pupek (March 8, 1962 – August 30, 2010) was an American poet and fiction writer. She wrote and published two collections of poetry: The Livelihood of Crows (Mayapple Press, 2010) and Forms of Intercession (Mayapple Press, 2008), and one novel, Tomato Girl (Algonquin, 2008), which was called a "wrenching, stunning, and pitch-perfect novel that captures the best of Southern literature's finest storytelling colors" by Library Journal[1] and "an absorbing, unsettling debut" by Publishers Weekly.[2] Writing for the Courier-Journal, critic L. Elisabeth Beattie notes: "Jayne Pupek's first novel puts her among the ranks of Southern masters like McCullers and O'Connor"[3] Pupek's work has appeared in numerous journals and anthologies, and has received multiple nominations for the Pushcart Prize.[4] Tomato Girl was also published as an audio book by Recorded Books as part of their Southern Voices Audio Imprint.
