Ezra Buckley is an itinerant philosopher who is credited with creating the dark Zen practice known as Xen. He is also known as, Brother X. Ezra contends that Xen was passed down to him by a bread baking forest monk named Ralph, but there is no evidence to prove or disprove this claim. Ezra has contributed to various anarchist, eco-extremist, and poetry journals such as Atassa 2: Readings in Eco-Extremism, Night Forest Cell of Radical Poets, and the radical art journal, ThePsychoPath.org.
