Bernardo Wade

From New Orleans, Bernardo Wade will soon wander the Bay as a Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford. He currently serves as an 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 is forthcoming from Lookout Books. Wade is infatuated with Ed Roberson’s question “Can you OD on life?” Find more at  bernardowade.com.
