ANNEXIA INCARNATA: A Flicker Street Tale

This is my latest FS video. Its presentation is based on some advice given me by dear friend and literary mentor Tim McLain. It's a recounting of recent work inspired and informed by very dark dreams and autobiographical trauma. It was a lovely epiphany for me, as those signposts helped tie together FS story threads going back as far as 1988. Those seeds were sown by a heavy break up with my first real girlfriend - someone who herself had suffered horrible abuse in her life and tragically was killed in 1991, well after we had become friends again but were not in regular contact.

This video continues the format of other recent videos on my YouTube channel, opening with credit graphics set to pertinent audio, in this case a sampling of the Velvet Underground's "Ride Into The Sun", a selection I began writing to in 2018. My description on YouTube includes a copyright disclaimer stating that l have no rights to this music nor am I implying that I do; I'm sampling it under 'Fair use' statutes.

I sketched out some thumbnail artwork for this video but will append it to the video when it's a more finished illustration. The art includes graphic nudity, which social media outlets often lapse into a reactionary fervor over in these times of growing censorship. 

Anyway, as always, enjoy,
Henry
