| Introduction | From recent publishing bio: "Edward J. Carvalho is a twice-nominated Pushcart Prize poet (2004-2005), MFA in creative writing (Goddard College, 2006), and PhD candidate in the Literature and Criticism program program at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of _solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short_ (Fine Tooth Press, 2007) and _“If the radiance of a thousand suns”: Songs of the American Hiroshima_ (Six Bad Apples Press, 2008-09). His poems––once described as “original, innovative, imaginative and brutal”––have appeared along with his essays, reviews, and critical papers in numerous journals throughout the country. In June 2008, Carvalho will present a paper on Whitman as one of fifteen international applicants in the Whitman International Seminar and Symposium, Dortmund, Germany. Carvalho will guest edit Dr. David B. Downing's _Works and Days_ journal on _Academic Freedom and Intellectual Activism in the Post-9/11 University_, which will feature his interviews with Noam Chomsky, Martín Espada, and Cornel West, among new scholarship from other notable intellectuals (Spring/Fall 2008). Carvalho was born in Connecticut in 1970." |
