About this title

About the Author

Harley Elliott was born in South Dakota to a short line of Norski wheat farmers, but has spent most of his time in Kansas. He was awakened to contemporary poetry while attending a reading by Ed Dorn. Since 1971, he has published ten books of poems, a children's book, and a memoir. Not a disciple of specialization, he believes that artistic expression, not the maker, will suggest the appropriate medium. He expresses himself in writing, song, and visual art. This is a collection of expressions which have chosen the form of poetry.
