Tom Hansen
Tom Hansen's first poetry collection, Falling to Earth,was selected from over 900 manuscripts by judge Molly Peacock as winner of BOA's 4th annual A. Poulin, Jr. Poetry Prize. Hansen has a B.A. and an M.A., both in English, from the University of Michigan. He taught writing and literature classes for thirty-five years at Northern State University in Aberdeen SD, before retiring to the Black Hills, where he lives on ten acres of hilly, rocky, ponderosa-covered land with his wife, their husky, an indeterminate number of deer and wild turkeys and, now and then, a vagrant mountain lion.
