In his own words :”Jason Stoneking  is a guy who writes stuff. Mostly poems and essays. He’s been around for a long time. He’s read with so-and-so, and published in the such-and-such. He’s had brushes with fame and brushes with death. An uncomfortable amount of his past can be found on the internet. He recently released a new collection of essays, and he currently spends most of his time in Paris where he can occasionally be found reading his work in the basement of a bar.” www.jasonstoneking.com
