Über den Autor
John Briggs resides in Kuna, a small Idaho town that, like a lot of small Idaho towns, is quickly becoming a large one. He lives with his wife, Dawn, and two dogs, one of which is smart enough to unlatch the gate and the other of which is dumb enough to follow her. He is an artist, a poet, and the author of Eat Art and Utter Poems, an ebook of poetry available on Amazon Kindle.
