Ka-Son Reeves
Ka-Son was born in Bed-Stuy and raised in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn,
role in his life. He spent many weekends and summers at his father's
apartment in Bed-Stuy. There, when he wasn't practicing his gymnastics with
his brothers in vacant lots on old mattresses, he cultivated his natural artistic
ability by watching the creative processes of his father, a portrait artist, and
his eldest brother, a local Graffiti artist. Drawing and Graffiti writing became
his passion.

Ka-Son believes he didn't get much literary instruction from the New York
public school system. In fact, the school system had an adverse effect on his
education, despite having an "A" average in elementary school. Thus, to the
teachers he became invisible. A bout with the chicken pox in high school
forced him to miss his English finals. To make up for it, he was kindly given an
assignment by his English teacher. "She was a young, African American
teacher who took a chance on me. I think she saw something in me that most
in school didn't, that I was indeed bright, only very lazy". The assignment: one
week to read and write a report on the book, "Wuthering Heights", or fail. "I
guess I'm failing this class," he thought. To his surprise, the story drew him in,
seeing a world and time totally different than his real life. That report was
praised by the teacher, and a literary interest was sparked. The next year, a
creative essay helped him gain the highest score in the school on the English
Regents. "I was finally 'seen', although it came only right before graduation,"
he says.

So he set out to prove that he wasn't a wasted mind. In college, he won
second place in a short story contest, which was published in the local college
anthology. He also wrote for the student newspaper. Along with his Graphic
Design major's course load, he took extra courses in literature including
Contemporary, African, English and Law through Literature. He graduated
Magna Cum Laude from the City University of New York's Baccalaureate
Program.

Education exposed him to works of different sorts by a myriad of authors. It
was the concept of Love, however, and its ability to amplify just about all
aspects of human emotion, that really charged creative inspiration. And from
first-hand experience he wrote, and wrote, and wrote. And he hasn't stopped.
For him, writing has become sort of a Self-discovery, a path for the mind to
walk towards self-growth.
