Finn WilcoxFinn Wilcox worked in the woods at the upper elevations of the Olympics and the Cascades with Olympic Reforestation Incorporated, a forest workers co-op, for twenty-five years; he planted well over a million trees. He rode freight trains for several ears to learn about the life, journeys, and history of the once-respected American Hobo. His first book, Here Among the Sacrificed (Empty Bowl, 1984), includes the poignant images of legendary Northwest photographer Steven R. Johnson, depicting people in boxcars and railroad yards who appear in Finn's memorable poems and stories. In addition to the full content of Here Among the Sacrificed, Wilcox's latest collection, TOO LATE TO TURN BACK NOW contains his poems from Nine Flower Mountain, detailing travels in China; LESSON LEARNED, a group of love poems; and Not Letting Go, a suite of new poems and stories. With Jeremiah Gorsline, Finn edited WORKING THE WOODS, WORKING THE SEA: AN ANTHOLOGY OF NORTHWEST WRITING (Empty Bowl, 2008). Finn and his wife Pat Fitzgerald live in Port Townsend.
