A recent Los Angeles emigre, Joseph Thomas is now a professor of English at San Diego State University, where he teaches children's literature, contemporary poetry, & poetry writing. Reared on comic books, dirty playground rhymes, & stolen smut, Joseph is a fan of all things queer & carnivalesque. Having written the first book-length study on U.S. children's poetry, Poetry's Playground: The Culture of Contemporary American Children's Poetry (Wayne State UP, 2007), Joseph is now preparing a book concerning Shel Silverstein's life and work, tentatively titled, “The Devil's Favorite Pet”: Shel Silverstein, an American Iconoclast. He will be reading from his book of Oulipo-inspired poetry, Strong Measures, recently published by Make Now Press (2007). Ian Barnard and Katie E. Strode will be assisting him in his reading.
