S. Preston Duncan is a leathercrafter and death doula in Richmond, Virginia. He is the author of the limited risograph-printed pamphlet, The Sound in This Time of Being (BIGWRK, 2020), about which novelist Tom Robbins said, “Reading [these] poems today I had the feeling of having asked (and received) an autograph from starlight.”

His work has been commissioned by The Peace Studio, nominated for Best of the Net, shortlisted for the Art of Creative Unity Award, translated into Chinese by Poetry Lab Shanghai, and appeared in dozens of journals and anthologies, including [PANK], Poetry Bus, The Storms, HAD, Clarion, and Image Journal (forthcoming).
