About the Author
Lots of John Harts: This one is the California-based environmental journalist and poet, born 1948, author of fifteen books and counting, winner of sundry awards. My most recent title is "Storm Camp," my second poetry collection, from Sugartown Publishing. Next up, from University of Oklahoma Press, is my edit of an ancestor's frontier memoir: "Bluecoat and Pioneer: The Recollections of John Benton Hart, 1864-1868." Historian John Monnett calls it "a genuine attic find."
