James Crane

About Me

A cold snow filled wind blew through the hard winter days of mid february in a tiny Northeastern PA town. From the union of a Texas rattle snake and a temple priestess, James Crane was born, a gold pen and whiskey bottle in his hands. Then they put him in school, eventually introduced him to middle management, and did all but castrate him.Now he writes poetry. It's also rumored that he invented Rock and Roll.
