From my latest Q & A for Fresh Water with self-described culture worker RA Washington.

~~

Rumor has it you use a manual typewriter. What gives?

RA Washington

It’s about a connection to a legacy of art being work and writers being connected to work, and not being so precious with our little devices. It's also a way to slow my process down and to honor the fact that my grandfather and my father and my great grandfather all worked with their hands.

~~

I happen to know for a fact that RA uses a typewriter because I happened into a CLE watering hole once and saw him clacking away at the bar.

Free cutting edge music, books for prisoners and a mysterious character named Roi Da Moor are all part of the Q&A, so drop in and give it a read.
