People of Earth
Short-listed for the ALS Gold Medal 2012. Chris Edwards' first full-length collection, People of Earth (2011) brings together the bulk of his previous Vagabond chapbooks plus a wealth of newer material, including A Fluke, his mistranslation of Stéphane Mallarmé's Un Coup de dés, and the first movement of Sonata for O, his rendition of Rainer Maria Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus. The book's concluding section, Aha!, incorporates scanned material and Egyptian hieroglyphs in what Stuart Cooke (writing in Southerly) called remarkable fissions of image, sign and signification operating at the intersection of non-verbal and verbal sounds, pictorial and…

Über den Autor
Chris Edwards made his advertising debut in 1993 as a copywriter at Arnold, a high profile ad agency in Boston. It was there he used the principles of branding and marketing along with his ever-present sense of humor to orchestrate what was quite possibly the most widely accepted and embraced gender transition of its kind-at a time when the word transgender didn't exist. After building an award-winning career spanning nearly twenty years, Chris left his Arnold post as EVP, Group Creative Director to write his memoir, BALLS. Since then, he's become a sought-after speaker, inspiring and empowering audiences with his personal story of courage and message that we actually have the power to control how others define us. Chris grew up in the Boston suburbs and was voted Most Likely to Get an Ulcer by his high school classmates. He went on to attend Colgate University, where he majored in psychology and minored in keg stands. He currently lives in Boston's South End with his fake dog, Sanchez, whose antics are featured every year on the Edwards family Christmas card. He'll find any excuse to buy a grocery store birthday cake (gold with buttercream frosting), can complete the New York Times crossword any day of the week (Monday through Wednesday without cheating), and uses Downtown Abbey reruns as a substitute for Ambien. He has yet to develop an ulcer.
