Very little is known about the Pre-Age poet DJ Crazy Times. Even his name is likely a pseudonym (popularly translated as "The Bard Of The Turbulent Era"). We believe his works were largely written to be set to music - however, the music has been lost. Indeed, only a small amount of the writing itself survives.
We do know that he was highly revered in his time. One source claims his works were definitive for a period of art around 50 years before The Destruction (ca. 1990-2000 in the Old Calendar). The few sources that actually quote his work have been dated at least twenty years later than that time range, though this is not necessarily a contradiction due to the known sloppy record-keeping of the age.
Included below is his most famous work, Fragment 14. The actual title has been lost - and what is left is, like all his remaining works, only a portion of the original.
