Zach Hively pokes holes in the world’s pockets just to see what falls out. His poetry, nonfiction writing, alt-folk music, and award-winning columns tease out the humor in the natural world’s vibrant character and reflect back its many personalities—including the human ones.

In addition to his own writing, Zach works with clients from tech startups to independent authors to shape their voice, reach their customers, polish their work, and realize their vision.

He is also a teacher, an Argentine tango dancer, and a musician—most notably as a guitarist, harmonicist, and vocalist for the duo Oxygen on Embers.

He lives near Abiquiu, New Mexico, with his dog, Hawkeye.
