Bio:

Jason Youngclaus is the author of the dynamic debut collection "Little Planet Raisins." He was born in Boston and graduated from College of the Holy Cross in 2005. There he studied and was captivated by the Lake Poets, particularly Coleridge. His work combines a sense of magic realism with attenuating dystopian vision.

An accomplished guitarist and songwriter, his music can be found on his website and Instagram page @jyc_music_lyrics. He is also the composer of the aptly titled studio album, "Future Control," under the JYC Music trademark.
