Our "Doc" Harding may well be one of the best "secret weapons" on the web literary scene. His powerfully evocative classical-style poetry is lauded by many. He is also fond of writing O. Henryesque short stories. And his thought-provoking articles pull no punches. He is also working on some terrific novels.
