Digital Chapbook SeriesFlight of the Mothman
Flight of the Mothman is a chapbook that attempts to navigate the impact of familial legacy, bi-racial culture, and various types of media on personal identity by examining specific moments throughout his family’s history and recasting the author as West Virginia’s famous Cryptid. It’s about Truth, Cartography, Dungeons & Dragons, and being black while listening to your favorite emo bands.
