Biography

The Twiceborn Bard began life as a gifted student with a voracious appetite for knowledge of all types, flitting effortlessly between music, literature, history, science, mathematics, and philosophy. As a young adult, he fell deathly ill and suffered years of isolation and madness as his body and mind slowly convalesced, saved only by miracles of medical learning and the kindness of unknown strangers. The Twiceborn Bard refers to his life since this second birth as ‘time stolen from death’. By immersing himself in the study of myth, tale, and riddle, he seeks to explore the Truth within Untruth. The Bard is rarely silent for long; his contemplations demand that they be spoken or sung Into Being. He claims the universe entire as his audience, whether there are ears present to hear or not.
