St. Sukie de la Croix (born Darryl Michael Vincent, September 16, 1951)[1] is a writer and photographer.
He had two plays, A White Light in God's Choir (2005), and Two Weeks in a Bus Shelter with an Iguana (2006), performed by Chicago's Irreverence Dance & Theatre company.
[4] In the 1960s, de la Croix became a member of the liberal counterculture of the time, focusing on political, socialist, and anarchist matters.
[6] He began writing a column entitled "A Letter from America" for the Pink Paper, which he describes as "a wry, humorous look at gay life in a large American city."
De la Croix approached writing Chicago Whispers from a non-academic perspective, and as an outsider documenting a city foreign to him as an Englishman.
[9] De la Croix was born in Bath, Somerset, as Darryl Michael Vincent, to a poor family.
His father Stanley Reginald was a truck driver while his gypsy mother Doreen Mary worked in an engineering factory.
Due to his community and socialist parents, De la Croix was not raised within a specific religion.
The two men wrote a satirical column together for the Emerald City News which was also published weekly in London's Capital Gay from the late 1980s to the early 1990s.
