Aaron Fette

Aaron Fette was a street poet. His words are vivid and hard. He lived with mental illness all his life. At age fifteen, he envisioned himself as a modern-day Jack Kerouac, living an adventure on the road that he would chronicle in his writing. Instead, he found himself fleeing from paranoid delusions that drove him from city to city. He died of an opioid overdose in a homeless encampment under Interstate 35 in Fort Worth, Texas, on April 2, 2017.
