Overview

Few challenges are greater than navigating the world as a so-called adult. Yet Zach Hively does his best to evade them all. The perils of rental housing? Finding friendship as a hermit who rather dislikes people? Bears? There's nothing he can't talk his way through (or out of) in these short essays. Call Me Zach Hively Because That Is My Name assembles, if not the best, at least the bulk of the long-running and award-winning columnist and essayist, known as ""an authentic humorist, a rare beast"" (V. B. Price).

Zach Hively and his dogs live in northern New Mexico. He continues to write and (somehow) publish the long-running Fool's Gold column, which has (somehow) won several first-place awards from the Society of Professional Journalists' Top of the Rockies awards. He has written three books of poetry so far, including Owl Poems and Wild Expectations. His Desert Apocrypha earned the Reading the West Book Award for poetry. Lest you try to find him in person, be warned: he plays the harmonica but refuses to get better at it.
