M. Conway Dorsey is originally from South Louisiana, a place of lowlands, sugarcane, big lakes, oil fields, and voodoo. He holds a degree in Arts and Sciences from Louisiana State University where he also attended Law School. Over the years, inspired by the transformative power of literature, he has published several short works of fiction in literary journals. His long abiding passion for poetry and fiction resulted in the novel Lower Reaches of the River.
Dorsey spins a tale of exploration out of a vision of reality in which emptiness stands at the center. Like the story’s characters, the reader is called upon to undertake a re-creation of self and to acknowledge natural magic found in our daily experience.
