Born and raised in Boston, MA,
Jeremy Void played in a Punk band called Lethal Erection.
|
He lived fast.
He played loud.
|
He thought he would die young,
but he was wrong....
|
Lying on his face in a pool of sweat, blood, & tears, he was forced to scrape himself out of the gutter.
Too many drugs
Too many fights
Too much drinking
Too many late nights
|
This self-destruction was taking a toll on him, and something had to give. He knew something had to give. He had to change. He had to put an end to the madness, the fight---it was a devastating fight to survive; to survive the rut that put his family in shackles.
He sought help, and that's what he got.
|
But the fight didn't end there. Sure, he tried to do the right things, but tries are only tries and the fight proceeded to be fought, and he fought it with every last chance he got.
He took up writing:
|
Poetry, Prose, Short Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, Experimental Writing, Concrete Poetry---
you name it, he did it...
|
It was how he maintained. The use of words was his only lifeline.
He currently lives in South Burlington, VT, with his beautiful wife Michelle Tinklepaugh.
|
Jeremy Void is not one to believe in happy endings, but if the world were to end tomorrow, well, then you know.... What a magical way to wrap up such a devious existence....
