John G. Neihardt (1881–1973) was an American poet, novelist, essayist, and literary editor whose career centered on the history, cultures, and spiritual traditions of the Great Plains. He wrote the five-part epic A Cycle of the West, numerous volumes of poetry and prose, and Black Elk Speaks (1932), based on his conversations with Lakota holy man Black Elk. Named Nebraska’s poet laureate in 1921, Neihardt later taught poetry and literature at the University of Missouri.
