==Biography==
Stem lived all of his life in the house where he was born in Oxford, North Carolina. He went to school at Duke University, but left during his fourth year several credits away from earning his degree. Stem spent his early years working a variety of jobs until he served in the Army during World War II. He began writing poetry in about 1944, and in 1945, nine of his poems were published in ''Lyric'', a literary magazine in Roanoke, Virginia. He continued to write sporadically for the next few years until his marriage in 1947.
Between 1949 and 1950, Stem published a lot of work, including: two collections of poetry, one collection of essays, and ''The Animal Fair'', a series of poetic sketches about small town life. He also sold an estimated 8,000 short pieces to North Carolina newspapers, primarily the Raleigh ''News and Observer'' and ''The Pilot'', in addition to writing a weekly column that eventually became a daily editorial. He published eleven more books over the next two decades.
Stem suffered from kidney failure during the last two years of his life, which required weekly dialysis. He continued to produce articles, short stories, and editorials up until his death. He also compiled ''Thad Stem's Ark'', another collection of his work. A history of Johnston County, North Carolina was in progress at the time of his death.
