speaking to me. It still does. Ken Hada lives and writes in the Cross Timbers in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. Much of his writing is grounded in the ecology of place, and seeks the rhythms of the natural order. He is the author of nine collections of poetry, including his latest: Contour Feathers (Turning Plow Press, 2021) and Sunlight and Cedar (Vacpoetry 2020). His work has been featured on The Writer's Almanac, and his work has been awarded by SCMLA, The National Western Heritage Museum and The Oklahoma Center for the Book.
