Jimmy Murdock, AKA Rambling Man / AKA Dalil was born in Tampa, FL and raised in Marrero, LA, Douglasville, GA, and Tampa until he died in a tragic car wreck of criminals carrying out justice in 2008. Since then, he spends his days mumbling to himself, contemplating the whole of reality “out loud” while answering himself. He’s also undiagnosed PTSD—Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Prison Trauma Stressed Daily—but thanks Exchange for Change for sharing his writing. It was E4C’s introduction to poet Tongo Eisen Martin that gave him the inspiration and courage to unmuzzle his writing.
