Higgs, Richard

I've been a drifter, hitchhiker, migrant farmworker, soldier, fugitive, prisoner, long-haul trucker, mountain climber, poet, published author, and public radio DJ. After several years of drifting, I moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1980. In 1996, I wrote my first book "Bringing In The Sheaves" chronicling a summer I'd spent on a wheat harvesting crew on the Great Plains. I'm a free-lance journalist and since 1999, I've co-hosted the Public Radio program "Folk Salad." I live in a small house with my wife Louise and our cat Honeybee.
