Follower of Christ, wife, mother of two awesome sons, conservative, physical therapist, sports fan, classic rock music fan.
As I was reading this piece I recognized that much of what David was describing could be found in the comment section of a particular Blaze radio host's twitter feed. And then David actually linked to that host's new book. I knew it sounded too familiar. https://t.co/EvGoWYt2gQ
Praise for this book
"It's hot in Kahn Santori Davison's BLAZE, and I'm not just talking about the high school honey with 'Kool-Aid colored eyes...skin-tight Calvin Klein jeans' and 'a belt buckle that said H O T T I E.' This collection, like the tale of the Phoenix, is about a young man rising from personal destructions renewed and more enlightened. With the love of his aunts and grandparents, Kahn's speaker not only accomplishes this, but does so gracefully." --Alan King, author of DRIFT
"BLAZE ignites in its reclamation towards self-identity above and beyond tragedy and instigates for the renewal of one of Detroit's own. Kahn Santori Davison's language muses, 'This/alchemy began with Conga/drums, not 808s.' He traverses beyond his historical migration of familial ties and connects with a cultural mysticism--finding a bittersweet station in life. From KRS-One to Eminem--from Jimi Hendrix to Jack White--Davison pluckily examines/defines what place and family mean--all the while blazing on."--Curtis L. Crisler, author of WONDERKIND and Dreamist
