Ed Harkness grew up about four blocks south of the Haller Lake Community Club. In fact, his mother, Doris Harkness, took him to his first pre-school classes at the HLCC, where she was a member of a pioneering parent-toddler co-op. After successfully pedaling and finger-painting his way through pre-school, Ed graduated from Ingraham High, later earned his B.A. in English at the University of Washington, and from there traveled to Missoula, Montana, where he received his Master of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing in 1973. Ed is the author of three full-length poetry collections: Saying the Necessary (2000), Beautiful Passing Lives (2010), and most recently, The Law of the Unforeseen (2018, Pleasure Boat Studio Press). You can find some of Ed's recent publications in the following online journals: Valparasio Review, Sisyphus Review, Triggerfish Critical Review, Bracken Magazine and Under a Warm Green Linden. His chapbook, Ice Children, was published by Split Lip Press in 2014. To hear Ed read “Tying a Tie” and “Airborne,” the two winning poems of Terrain.org’s 8th Annual Contest in Poetry (2018), go to https://www.terrain.org/2018/poetry/edward-harkness-2/. After a 32 year teaching career, Ed retired from Shoreline Community College in 2013 and given the fancy title of Professor Emeritus of English. He and his wife, Linda, live in Shoreline.
