The Bear & Dragon Tales
“This is a story that I was told. I did not invent it. I did not
conjure it. I am merely its scribe. It was
gifted to me one day but my truest friend – a teddy bear who had
found me while I was in graduate school. In honor
of him, I have presented his story exactly as he presented it to me.
It is a true fairy tale, told often in rhyme,
which is his way of speaking. It is not mine.” – Chris Carmines
