brandon 's Bio

I'm a graduate of a small liberal arts college in Arkansas with a B.A. in English.

My favorite prose writers are Irvine Welsh, Charles Bukowski, Stephen King, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Alan Sillitoe, Norman Mailer, Virginia Woolf, and Sylvia Plath.

My favorite poets are John Wilmot, Frank Stanford, Charles Bukowski, Alexander Pope, and almost anyone from the Beat Era.

I'm an avid mma enthusiast and writer. I also love proper football.
