Will Nixon is a poet, publisher, photographer, painter, and restless spirit. His most recent book is If Not in Heaven, Then in Saugerties, a town portrait in poems. He may be best known for The Pocket Guide to Woodstock and Walking Woodstock: Journeys into the Wild Heart of America's Most Famous Small Town co-authored with Michael Perkins. Bushwhack Books, his small press created to publish these earlier titles, has now grown to release Crossing Divides: My Journey to Standing Rock by Vernon Benjamin and Swami Salami: The Best of the Beloved Woodstock Times Cartoons by Michael Esposito. He now spends his mornings working on short stories and novels. Will Nixon became a photographer when he bought his first iPhone. He soon learned he loved taking selfies in a crow mask, then other masks. Then he met a small scarecrow doll displayed in Party City for the Thanksgiving season, and he couldn't resist. For him, photography is a way to create fanciful stories much like he does in his poetry and fiction. Pip is a happy companion who never complains.
