Bernardo Wade

Born & raised in New Orleans, Bernardo Wade tries at poems, catches elbows on the court, & serves as Assistant Editor and Poetry Editor for Obsidian: Literature & Arts in the African Diaspora. Though he’s published in a bunch of literary journals no one in his family has ever heard of, they remain proud of him, especially when they are featured in the poems. His first full-length poetry collection is forthcoming from Lookout Books of UNC-Wilmington. Infatuated with EdRoberson's question, he might ask if you "Can you O.D. on life?” Find him online at bernardowade.com.
