"History wanted to be remembered. Evidence hated having to live in dark, hidden places and devoted itself to resurfacing. Truth was messy. The natural order of an entropic universe was to tend to it."
- Rivers Solomon, An Unkindness of Ghosts

"Ozenoz Media is unique because it serves as a personal, multi-platform showcase for Joel Brooks’ wide-ranging creative output, all curated and produced by him alone. The platform brings together his novels, screenplays, comedy, music, visual art, and performance art in one place, allowing audiences to experience the full spectrum of his talents."

"Unlike typical artist portfolios, Ozenoz Media is deeply autobiographical, reflecting Brooks’ personal journey—including periods of homelessness and resilience—which adds authenticity and narrative depth to his work. The site features exclusive content not available elsewhere, interactive blog posts, and original art collections, including NFTs, making it both a creative archive and an evolving, interactive experience for fans and collectors."

If trees grew upside down
And root houses were in fashion
I’d build me a root house high in the clouds
Of the bare peaked mountain
With snow at its base
There I’d spend my nights 
Looking down at the stars
That shine under the sky
From the seas of illusion 
To the deserts of green
And swing from the roots of my lone sanity
