Nicola Vulpe considers poetry an unfortunate habit and doesn’t get out much with the literati. His poems have nonetheless appeared in journals such as The Antigonish Review, The Manhattan Review, Mediterranean Poetry, Slush Pile Magazine and Stand Magazine. He has also published a novella, The Extraordinary Event of Pia H., who turned to admire a chicken on the Plaza Mayor, as well as three collections of poetry, When the Mongols Return, Blue Tile and Insult to the Brain (Fred Cogswell Award for Excellence in Poetry), with a fourth, Through the Waspmouth I Drew You, forthcoming with Guernica Editions.
