As an author and a teacher, Ed Falco is interested in both print and digital writing. Falco's most recent books are the poetry collection Wolf Moon Blood Moon (LSU, 2017), the novels Toughs (Unbridled Books, 2014) and The Family Corleone (Grand Central, 2012), and the short story collection, Burning Man (SMU, 2011). Earlier books include the novel Saint John of the Five Boroughs; the short story collection, Sabbath Night in the Church of the Piranha: New and Selected Stories; the novel, Wolf Point; and a collection of literary and experimental short fictions, In the Park of Culture. Falco's interest in digital writing (which is also called new media writing, hypertext, or electronic literature) dates back to the earliest days of personal computers, and he has a novel (A Dream with Demons) and a poetry/short fiction collection (Sea Island) available on CD from Eastgate Systems, as well as various works available online, including "Chemical Landscapes, Digital Tales," written in collaboration with the photographer, Mary Pinto, and included in the Electronic Literature Organization's CD/Web anthology, The Electronic Literature Collection, Volume I. Falco writes plays, and a recent one, a two-hander entitled Possum Dreams, was produced by None Too Fragile Theatre in Akron, Ohio, and Off Off Broadway at Shetler Studio Theatre 54 in New York.
