SUMMARY:Conversation with Bernardo Wade and Ross Gay
DESCRIPTION:About the Authors\n\nBorn and raised in New Orleans\, Bernardo Wade tries at poems\, catches elbows on the court\, and wanders around the Bay—occasionally on Stanford’s campus as a Wallace Stegner Fellow. Previously the editor of Indiana Review\, he now serves as assistant editor and poetry editor for Obsidian: Literature & Arts in the African Diaspora. Though he’s published in a bunch of literary journals no one in his family has ever heard of\, they remain proud of him\, especially when they are featured in the poems. His first full-length poetry collection\, A Love Tap\, is forthcoming from Lookout Books of UNC-Wilmington. He’s infatuated with Ed Roberson’s question\, “Can you O.D. on life?”  \n Awarded the 2021 Puerto del Sol Poetry Prize\, the 2023 Third Coast Poetry Prize\, and the Academy of American Poets’ Vera Strube Poetry Prize\, Bernardo has words in The Nation\, The Sewanee Review\, Crazyhorse\, Black Warrior Review\, Guernica\, Cincinnati Review\, Southern Review\, Ecotone\, and elsewhere.   \n Ross Gay is the author of four books of poetry: Against Which; Bringing the Shovel Down; Be Holding\, winner of the PEN American Literary Jean Stein Award; and Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude\, winner of the 2015 National Book Critics Circle Award and the 2016 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award. In addition to his poetry\, Ross has released three collections of essays—The Book of Delights was released in 2019 and was a New York Times bestseller\, Inciting Joy was released in 2022\, and his newest collection\, The Book of (More) Delights\, was released in September 2023.
