T. A. Niles was a seed planted in the Caribbean soil of Trinidad & Tobago on the cusp of the transformational 60s.

He was watered and fertilized in the gardens of Brooklyn, New York and Hartford, Connecticut throughout most of the bell-bottomed era of the 70s

He was forged in trials by fire in the US Marine Corps in the late 70s thru early 80s

Budded and bloomed in academia in the 80s and 90s, before his withering began at the turn of the 21st century.

Yet, before he falls from the stem, and is ground once more into dust, he hopes to feed a mind or two with morsels of his meanderings.

He comes to us from Mimbres, New Mexico- the latest stop on a life journey dotted with myriad landscapes.
