For those too lazy to link there from here:

"Edward J. Carvalho is a twice-nominated Pushcart Prize poet (2004-2005) and PhD candidate in the Literature and Criticism program program at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short (Fine Tooth Press, 2007) and “If the radiance of a thousand suns”: Songs of the American Hiroshima (Six Bad Apples Press, 2008-09). His poems––once described as “original, innovative, imaginative and brutal”––have appeared along with his essays, reviews, and critical papers in numerous journals throughout the country. Carvalho holds an MFA in creative writing from Goddard College (2006). Carvalho’s interview with poet Martín Espada, “A branch on the Tree of Whitman: Martín Espada on the 150th Anniversary of Leaves of Grass,” was recently published by Quay and accepted for re-publication in the Walt Whitman Quarterly Review (University of Iowa, Summer 2008). In June 2008, Carvalho will present a paper on Whitman as one of fifteen international applicants in the Whitman International Seminar and Symposium, Dortmund, Germany. Carvalho will guest edit Dr. David B. Downing's Works and Days journal on Academic Freedom and Intellectual Activism in the Post-9/11 University, which will feature his interviews with Noam Chomsky, Martín Espada, and Cornel West, among new scholarship from other notable intellectuals (Spring/Fall 2008). He is also the recent recipient of Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Twentieth and Twenty-First Annual IUP Doctoral Fellowships (2006, 2008) and employed there with a Graduate Assistantship in the English Department. Carvalho was born in Danbury, Connecticut in 1970."
