Charles Mercy

Conceived of equal parts unrequited love and wrath from above, Charles Mercy fled the swampy Gulf Coast to dry out in an extended sojourn in the American Southwest. Squatting there with a rescue dog and a weather-beaten baby grand, Charles’ raw delivery recounts tumultuous times amidst adventures in love and loss from the Eastern Seaboard to the Pacific Shore.
