   Raymond Meeks was born 1963 and raised in central Ohio.     
His regard for song and short story , especially those centered around impermanence
or loss, are at the center of his work. 
In 2004, Nazraeli Press published his first monograph titled
Sound of Summer Running with text by Forrest Gander and Rick Bass.
He continues to be inspired by collaboration with writers of poetry and short fiction
and the merging of visual and word narratives. 
Nazraeli  published a third book, "doctrine of an axe" in early 2009
