Jesse "Sparrow" Lane is a Louisville, Kentucky Native. As an artist, writer, and Sickle Cell Disease patient he strives to create thought-provoking, visceral, and ethereal experiences in his work. He likes to challenge the status -quo in his writing with contrasting lush but, often off-beat language and style to explore equally faceted subjects such as health, race, politics, society, and existentialism through his own unique lens as a Sickle Cell Patient and *Lover*.
