Unfaithful Voracity

by Christian Gann | posted in: Poetry | 0

A Small Café in Brooklyn

Dear United States of America

by Christian Gann | posted in: Essays | 0

Dear United States of America, I have a few questions for you. I don’t know how you’ll respond. After all, you tend to have varying opinions. It’s quite difficult to understand exactly who you are. Exactly what you stand for. … Continued

Thorn Cradle

Human Doing

Man

My hate for my love of creativity is a painful, paradoxical impasse that I suffer through wordlessly and bitingly every moment I find a pen, a camera, or a paintbrush in my hand.

The Man’s Runt
