The Bigfoot Diaries Welcomes Poet Don Larkin

Don Larkin in 2008. His beard has continued to grow.

Don Larkin has become the newest addition to our staff, becoming our Poet in Residence. His writing style brings a unique insight to The Bigfoot Diaries, and  it's an absolute privilege to have him on board. 

Don resides in Newton, Iowa. Besides writing poetry, he works a real job and is also a guest bartender from time to time at Newton's First Avenue Speakeasy. His beard is the stuff of Iowa legend as Don is the 3 time and defending Iowa State Fair champion of the most unique design category. He welcomes all challengers as he doesn't plan to relinquish his title any time soon. 

You can find Don at most Grateful Dead related events here in central Iowa, and the occasional open mic night. You will also be able to find him on our monthly live webcast from time to time. 

Welcome to the team, Don!
