Born and raised in Brooklyn NY, Patrick Dougher is a self-taught Artist, Musician, Poet, Educator & Spiritual Activist.

Daddy was in his 70s when I conducted my first interview with him. Born in 1919 (like Jackie Robinson), he was the fourth of six children.

I was twelve. My brother was thirteen, and our youngest brother, five. We were like postwar orphans—suddenly set loose, our days and nights ungoverned.
