He is currently Professor of English Literature at the University of Providence in Great Falls, Montana. His first academic book, The Translunar Narrative in the Western Tradition [2](Ashgate, 2004) examined the dream of traveling to the Moon in literature, culminating in the Apollo Program of the 1960s and early 1970s that achieved the millennia-long vision of leaving Earth. A considerable portion of his academic work deals with science fiction. His other works have focused on his home state of Montana, including Montana: Then and Now (Bangtail, 2014),[3] Literary Butte (History Press, 2015) [4] and Montana Americana Music (Arcadia, 2016), for which prize-winning author Smith Henderson wrote the foreword.[5] He won the Montana Historical Society's Peoples' Choice Award for his essay, "Montana's Worst Natural Disaster," about the devastating 1964 flood that killed 30 Native American Indians on the Blackfeet Reservation.[6] As a result of his Montana writings, he has been featured on many radio programs and was a featured guest on Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown segment on Butte.[7] He serves as president of The Drumlummon Institute, a non-profit whose mission is "to promote and publish art and literatures created in Montana and the broader American West."[8] Parrett is also a songwriter and composer. His first album of original songs, The Sinners (Pizzle Records, 1996) earned critical acclaim (rereleased in 2015), yielding the song "Texas," a song recorded by several artists, including the southern Americana band Stewart and Winfield. His songs have been featured in several Emmy-nominated documentary films, including Libby, Montana (High Plains Films, 2007) and The Naturalist (2004).[9] A lyric from his song "El Cuchillo" is referenced in leading Steinbeck scholar Bob DeMott's Afield: American Writers on Bird Dogs (2014).[10] His most recent recording was a joint effort with IBMA songwriter of the year, Ivan Rosenberg, called Stumbo Lost Wages (Pizzle Records, 2009).[11] He is also co-founder of The Territorial Press, along with master letterpress printer and book artist, Peter Rutledge Koch.[12] The catalogue of The Territorial Press includes Himself Adrift by Matt Pavelich (2016), Curses by Aaron Parrett (2015), and Maple and Lead (2017) by Aaron Parrett, featuring wood-engraved illustrations by artist Seth Taylor Roby.[13] He lives in Helena, Montana, with his wife and daughter.
