Len Sousa was born in New England in the first half of that best-forgotten decade, the 1980s. He was educated at colleges called Bard and Emerson, though neither was named for a famed writer, where he studied with the poets Lisa Jarnot, Jonathan Aaron, Pam Bernard and Bill Knott.

His poetry has appeared in issues of The New Republic, The Alembic, Perigee, nth position, Arabesques Review and other literary journals as well as on numerous napkins and the backs of torn envelopes. In addition to his writing, he is the creator of the mix/mashup audio project, Poetry Meets Music.

He has contributed essays, humor and journalism to several print and online magazines and newspapers, examples of which can be found in the prose section of this site. And despite their infrequency, he is also quite fond of his news posts where he provides updates and random ruminations.

The last several years have found him focusing more on stage and screenwriting. He is currently at work on a pilot script, two screenplays, and a stage play. His beard, unlike his penchant for hoodies, is seasonal.
