Untitled Lester Allen

Lester Allen is based in the East somewhere and is part of the semi-infamous "Beard" movement.  And this I stole from Kill Poet, "a part-time postal worker, Lester Allen works as little as possible and likes it that way.  He enjoys getting disorientated as often as time allows and spending time with his dog, Jackson.  When those obligations are fulfilled, he writes."  And let me tell you, his writing kick your ass.
