Doug Linder is a native Minnesotan who splits time between Kansas, where he teaches law, and Lutsen, Minnesota, where he and his wife have, for decades, maintained a second home. Author of two popular books on legal professionalism published by Oxford University Press, an acclaimed lecturer on historic trials and civil liberties issues in the "Great Courses" series, and creator of the Web's largest and most visited website on famous trials, Linder has long kept his talent for poetry from public view-until recently, when his poems began receiving national attention in places ranging from Garrison Keillor's Writer's Almanac to Scientific American. Linder has two grown daughters. He loves to hike, travel, read, canoe, curl, and take regular dips into the energizing waters of Lake Superior. See less
