Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexander Laurence. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Alexander Laurence was born in Los Angeles. He attended CSULB and San Francisco Art Institute. He has contributed to the books The Hipster Handbook (2004), Reefer Movie Madness (2010), Degenerative Prose (1995), and books about the history of Grove Press. He is also the author of a book of short stories: Five Fingers Make A Fist (2007). He has recently written a chapbook of poems The New Spain. He presently works as a tour manager and has traveled the world with indie bands. He is the founder of the website The Portable Infinite and has a weekly internet radio show New Noise on Radio KAJW.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I have lived in Northern and Southern California. I lived in New York City for eight years. Recently I spent a lot of time in London, England. You have to go where the love is. I think you have to have goals and diverse experiences. In life, I haven’t had severe depression or drug or alcohol issues, but I have lost friends because of that drama.
Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
I would not change anything about my life. I would have travelled to Europe when I had a chance when I was younger. Maybe I would have gone to a college on the East Coast. I think it’s great that people learn foreign languages and learn about something other than what is familiar. Young people should read more classic books and stay off their phones.
