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.”
