Joseph Bruchac lives in the Adirondack mountain foothills town of Greenfield Center, New York, in the same house where his maternal grandparents raised him. Much of his writing draws on that land and his Abenaki ancestry. His poems, articles and stories have appeared in over 500 publications, from American Poetry Review and Aboriginal Voices to National Geographic, Parabola and Smithsonian Magazine. As a professional teller of the traditional tales of the Adirondacks and the Native peoples of the Northeastern Woodlands, Bruchac has performed throughout Europe and the United States.
