TED BERNAL GUEVARA introduces his new collection of poetry, Snake Invite, out May 22nd.
Mr. Guevara resides in South Carolina, where he is a freelance writer. He is the author of three James Dean conceptual novels, Days of Slint, Lips of a Mastodon, and Asphalt & Water. His first novel, A Circle with Two Corners, won praises from Midwest reviews, including one from The Sentinel. The crime-romance novel, True Feel, is in its Second Edition.
Ted has published four other volumes of poetry, Films, Birds on Elephant, Tonto and Destinata, and the 2020 collection, Nice.
Although he delves into an array of themes, always looking for the unusual and the edgy, Guevara finds adherence in the plight of the disabled and all their "profound richness," as he states in a poem.
At age 9, his family moved from the Philippines to Marion, Indiana—where all his physical challenges were realized and at the same time, rewarded. His physician father never taught him how to dribble a basketball but had trained him to type a thousand words per day--from notable books--to increase his typing speed. Ted caught the literary bug instead, from the exercise.
Kirkus considers Mr. Guevara as Author to Watch.
