Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on July 04, 1946)

Happy birthday, Sam Hunt! Your brilliant poetic voice has been captivating readers since your debut book, "From Bottle Creek," burst onto the scene back in 1972. Whether wandering through a "Drunkard's Garden" or navigating the wild force of your "Roaring Forties," you've made every verse feel like an adventure—or at least a memorable night out!

Here's hoping that today is as timelessly extraordinary as your poetry performances. May you celebrate with just enough chaos to inspire new masterpieces, but not so much that you're nudged into becoming another chapter in the "Drunkard’s Garden." Cheers to more verses ahead!
