Journalism Professor Authors Biography of Nebraska's First Poet Laureate

Lonesome Dreamer: The Life of John G. Neihardt is out today.

Timothy G. Anderson’s biography Lonesome Dreamer: The Life of John G. Neihardt took shape over several decades.

The author, now retired but until last year a professor of journalism at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, met Neihardt at a book signing in 1972 when he was a student at the same school. But it was while on vacation many years later that things really started to spark. From Jeff Korbelik’s great piece this weekend in the Lincoln Journal Star:

Anderson and his wife, Nancy, took a trip to Sweden in 1995.
