| Introduction | I'm a writer and musician originally from New Orleans and proud of it. All of my artistic work investigates perception and meaning. I'm extremely interested in tribal consciousness, especially the creation of fear and hysteria, and memory. I explore modern-day lepers--people whom society use as scapegoats to cloak their own transgressions--so that I can deepen my interior, my empathy. Through my music, poetry and essays, I re-member those whipping boys (and girls). |
