Raven
Mack is an American mongrel mystic poet-philosopher of the Greater Appalachian
Unorthodox
tradition. Operating as a multi-media writer, poet, rapper, and artist born and
raised
in Southside Virginia, he self-publishes extensively in zine, print, and
digital formats to
create
a labyrinth of concepts, themes, and characters that blend everyday “reality”
with the
esoteric
and absurd. He hosts Southern Gothic Futurist Haiku Slams across Virginia,
treating art
as
a means to healing broken patterns – inherited, environmental, and
institutional.
