Author Biography
Steve Kahn is a lifelong Alaskan and former hunting guide who lives a subsistence-based lifestyle on Lake Clark (Qizhjeh Vena) near Port Alsworth, Alaska. He is author of The Hard Way Home: Alaska Stories of Adventure, Friendship, and the Hunt (2010). The essays in this collection offer a view of Alaska that is at once introspective and adventurous. Kahn writes of his experiences, considering the state's plant and animal life, geography, people, and politics, leading to hard-earned lessons about conservation, sustainability, and living well. He is also the co-author of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve (2009).
Kahn's writing has appeared in a number of publications including Alaska, ISLE, Pilgrimage, and the anthologies Wild Moments: Adventures with Animals of the North and Crosscurrents North: Alaskans on the Environment.
