Got Ghosts? We are ready to believe you. Wulf Moon reads. Author Gelett Burgess (1866-1951) earned a degree from MIT then escaped west and became part of the San Francisco Bay Area literary renaissance of the 1890s as an artist, poet, author, and humorist. He was best known as a writer of nonsense verse, such as “The Purple Cow,” and for introducing French modern art to the United States in an essay titled The Wild Men of Paris. He was also the author of the popular Goops children's books, and coined the term blurb. Voice Actor Wulf Moon feasted on fantasy as a child when he lived with his Chippewa grandmother. He begged stories from her every night—fireside tales that fired his imagination. If Moon had a time machine, those are the days he would go back to. Since he doesn't have a time machine, he tells stories. Learn more at driftweave.com Full show notes at GalleryCurious.com.
