… Anderson: It was a life of words – and fields – for prairie poet from Fargo - StarTribune.com. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Throughout it all, after making and losing and making again millions of dollars in insurance, venture capitalism and farming (he once said his farm job was hardest of all: “I borrow the money’’), and publishing multiple books of poetry, he remained at his core a wingshooter who regularly rose at dawn to load his Labradors and follow his truck’s headlights onto North Dakota prairies.
