The Hippie Hitchhiker from Nebraska

Randy Rhody's poems survive in publications from the mimeograph revolution that found their way into the archives of university libraries and the inventory of booksellers asking rare-book prices. At thirty-one, Rhody graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a degree in astronomy. He worked as an engineer commanding on-orbit space vehicles and supporting space shuttle missions. He lives with his wife in Los Altos, California.Portions of the present memoir appear in issue #21 of Beatdom literary journal, May 2021.
