Raised somewhere between the tobacco fields and horse farms of Woodford County, Kentucky, Jude McPherson has been bending and stretching syllables as long as he can remember. 'on my mind' blends his insatiable love of hip-hop with heaping helpings of front porch tall tales and social consciousness into his writing. He has published two previous collections of poetry through blacoetry press; loves taxicab blues revisited (1998) and the book of jude (2000) .
