Ken McCullough was born in Staten Island NY but spent most of his childhood in Newfoundland. He regards the mountains of Montana and Wyoming as his spiritual home. In 1992 he was adopted into the Minneconjou band of the Lakota nation. McCullough is a graduate of the Iowa Writers Workshop. He was Poet Laureate of Winona, MN for three terms. His most recent books of poetry are Dark Stars and Broken Gates, both from Red Dragonfly Press, his ninth and tenth books. He has also published fiction, reviews and illustrations, and his work has received several awards. McCullough translated the poetry of Pol Pot survivor U Sam Oeur (Sacred Vows--a bilingual edition) and collaborated with U on his memoir (Crossing Three Wildernesses) both with Coffee House Press. McCullough lives with his wife Lynn, a playwright, on a farm just outside Winona, where he plans to make his stand.
