About the Author

Burl N. Corbett, the father of four children, was conceived, born and raised on a farm in South-Eastern Pennsylvania. Since graduating high school in 1965, he has worked on a mink farm, poured steel, driven the big rigs, baby!, loaded dynamite, chased the sun as a cross-country pipeliner, picked fruit with migrant workers, and tended bar on the Bowery. In 1967-68, he lived in Haight-Ashbury where he was head pallbearer in The Death of Hippie demonstration, and in Greenwich Village where he was manager of The East Village Other's back-issue office. Now, he's a restoration stone mason and lives on the family farm from which he will be removed only by body bag.
