Thoughts on Fire

Leon Basin, lives in San Jose, but was born in Kharkov, Ukraine but came to the U. S. when he was only nine years old. Leon describes the United States as a "wonderful literary community that is open to many individuals". Most of Leon's writing is based in the United States but he hopes to travel to Sweden and India to share his writings and inspire other people from other countries as well. Leon writes poetry, short stories, lyrics, articles and novels; he has so far written six books and is currently working on many others. Leon has been writing for 11 years and hopes to continue this tradition and hopes that his writing will inspire children and adults. He has also performed Spoken Word at many venues around Bay Area, CA, and when moving to Los Angeles, CA he hope to perform even more. Leon is also working on a Spoken Word Poetry Album.
