Poetry on the edge of change
Making the world a more compassionate place through verse.
Follow me into a movement of change and powerful words promoting social justice, whether it be founding "Screaming at America," developing the company Art Before Money, or writing the poetic memoir "Homeless With God." My aim is to make the world better through art.

What Readers Are Saying
Scott Ray Merchant
"Exceptional and strange. Would fit nicely within any fringe festival. Demands to be performed.:
Eden Heffron-Hanson,
OutFront Colorado
"The spirituality in the book never proselytizes. it is often quirky or mystic, it is told as one of the facts of the narrative which gives extra heart to the book."
Aimee Herman, Author of "Everything Grows"
"Homeless with God" is a powerful representation of one human's experience being homeless and queer and a poet and so alive in a world that tries to kill us."
