Len Sousa is a poet, essayist, and journalist who has contributed to publications such as Skope Magazine, The Pulse, Mercury, Performer, The Noyse, Ducts, Literary Traveler, and others. He attended Bard College for one year (2001-2002) before attending Emerson College where he studied under the poets Jonathan Aaron, Bill Knott, and Pam Bernard, receiving a BFA in Writing, Literature, and Publishing in 2005. That same year, he was awarded a writing prize for his fiction.
Though still considered a poet in utero, his poetry has appeared in issues of The New Republic, The Alembic, Perigee, nth position, Arabesques Review, Gauge Magazine, The Emerson Review, and Gangsters In Concrete. Some of his translations have also been published by Perihelion. One day, however, he hopes to see his work completely banned and released solely through samizdat.
The necessary evil of being a writer is, of course, having to write. So in addition to his essays and poetry, Len Sousa is currently at work on various newspaper and magazine assignments, as well as several fiction projects, while continually living on the pity of editors and the scant scraps of the American literati.
