About Zach Hively

Zach Hively and his dogs live in northern New Mexico. He continues to write and (somehow) publish the long-running Fool’s Gold column, which has (somehow) won several first-place awards from the Society of Professional Journalists’ Top of the Rockies awards.

He has written three books of poetry so far, including Owl Poems and Wild Expectations. His Desert Apocrypha earned the Reading the West Book Award for poetry.

Lest you try to find him in person, be warned: he plays the harmonica but refuses to get better at it.
