Dylan Desmond
This is the first in a series: interviews with great readers. Great readers can be, and often are, writers, book makers, musicians, factory workers (myself), and/or anything else. I want to leave the door open to not limit exploration. I want these conversations to relate back to the person’s experience and creative output while also addressing bigger literary ideas/themes, which is why I am so happy that Dylan Desmond (Bell Witch, Stygian Bough, Je Est Un Autre, Pyrkagion) agreed to be the first in this interview series. We’ve been friends via the music scene for some time, and over the years I realized that, like me, he is also deeply invested in literature and literary expression. He is also one of the modern masters of melody and incredibly creative, an inspiration to many including myself. If you are unfamiliar with his work as a musician, I strongly urge you to change that now.
