The folklore, the magic, is all that matters, and nostalgia is important; the present being but a moment and the future perpetually unknown.

Autorenporträt
Alex Richmond is a poet living in Death Valley, United States. He has also lived in England and France. Of course, poetry is first and foremost a private thing, but that alone won't do. Richmond has made the leap into publication, not an unthreatening thing. He writes about the age of unprecedented change that we find ourselves in and that it is not necessarily good for us. His main themes relate to the fragility of life and how living things are exploited.
