Th Metzger

Called "The Poet Laureate of the Burnt Over District," Th. Metzger is a writer and teacher who has sung Sacred Harp music for decades. He has chronicled the birth of Mormonism, the electric chair, heroin's early days, the Calico Indians, the ancestors of H. P. Lovecraft in Rochester, the Moorish Orthodox Church, and various renegade holy men who haunted his region. As Leander Watts, he published five young adult novels, all set in his imaginal - though no less real - landscape.
