My artistic lineage is a modification of the concept of a personal canon that questions the concept of the “canon” while acknowledging the creative, scholarly, and other works that have influenced my thinking, reading, & writing. Instead, I am adopting the idea of an “artistic lineage.” Our ancestors have shaped us for better and for worse. I do not necessarily “recommend” every or any title on this page (especially not the Nemesis Texts).
