Shelter me! A photo essay by Braxton Younts

Born in North Carolina, weaned on beer and oysters, Braxton Younts lived in the heart of Appalachia. After that he roamed the cold streets of America, Europe, and Japan, chasing elusive dreams, writing a little, things mostly for himself, and trying to forget something very sad that happened long ago.

Connotation Press, The Gambler Magazine, Funhouse Magazine, and Bottle Cap Press have recently featured his creative nonfiction on their websites. In 2016, Braxton earned an MFA in nonfiction from The New School. He most certainly doesn't live in Brooklyn. Find him on Twitter @BraxtonYounts and at braxtonyounts.ink.
