R. S. Pierpoint

R. S. Pierpoint

R. S. Pierpoint (b. 1961 in Cleveland, Ohio) is an American author and songwriter.

His book, "After the Mardi Gras" (2005), released one month before Hurricane Katrina, is eerily prophetic. It chronicles different views of New Orleans before and after Hurricane Katrina. It is a significant work inasmuch as it predicts the ultimate demise of the city. The work is representative of modern American fiction. Its free form style is a cultural statement about the freedom of all to write. It conveys the further message that all are important to existence, not just self-appointed gatekeepers. A further volume of his work, Passageways, can be found in the Coffee House Press Special Collection at the University of Iowa.
