    Kevin Hadduck and his wife Linda live in Clay Center, Kansas. Kevin is retired after about 38 years in academia, including work in disability support services. He is a poet, a tree hugger, and an amteur wood butcher who loves to build things from scrap wood, do home remodeling, and occasionally carve. He is currently “busy-not-busy” building and repairing display cases for the local museum. Kevin and Linda love hiking, bird watching, and gardening.

    Kevin has published poems in over two dozen journals, including Journal of the American Medical Association, Lullwater Review, Prairie Schooner, South Dakota Review, Christianity and Literature, The Appalachian Journal, Literature and Belief, and others. He has published three collections of poems and two prose works, including

    Beloved Brother, Beloved Sister–Poems for Palestine, Fomite Press (August 2023) and Just Thinking, in Fomite Instigations, A Series of Tracts for Our Times (March, 2025). See his works at the Blue Heron Poetry.

    In the early summer of 2017, Kevin assisted Pam Bailey in conducting writing workshops in Beirut, Lebanon, as part of We Are Not Numbers writer-recruiting efforts. He has since been blessed with many friendships and acquaintances among Palestinians in Palestine and in the diaspora.
