Desert rat by birth, I've written my way across the country from Phoenix to feast with big city vermin, where today I'm a Brooklyn-based wordsmith and writer for hire. Since arriving, I received my BFA from Brooklyn College, in addition to the Mark McAuley and Vernon Lattin Scholarship in Creative Writing. My work has appeared or is forthcoming in Pearl Magazine, CC&D, By the Overpass, One Off, The Junction, Used Gravitrons, and Having a Whiskey Coke with You. I'm also co-curator of The Buzzard's Banquet performance series. As a burgeoning fixture in the New York City literary scene, writing samples and readings of my work can be found on my website, edkearns.com.
