Jack E. Davis worked on a nonfiction book titled The Gulf: The Making of an American Sea, which won the 2017 Kirkus Prize in nonfiction and the 2018 Pulitzer Prize in history. His previous book is a biography of American writer, feminist, and Everglades environmentalist Marjory Stoneman Douglas. In 2019, he was awarded an Andrew Carnegie Fellowship to support a new book project, Bird of Paradox: How the Bald Eagle Saved the Soul of America. He divides his time between homes in Gainesville, Florida, and Harrisville, New Hampshire, an eagle's swoop from MacDowell.
