Joel Wachman’s essays have won awards from Alternating Current Press and Sycamore Review. His fiction and nonfiction have appeared in Harvard Review, the Boston Globe, two anthologies from Universal Table Press, and more. His father was a scientist and his mother was a schoolteacher, so naturally he became a critical thinker who loves literature. After earning a Bachelors in Cognitive Science at Harvard and a Masters at the MIT Media Laboratory, he spent a decade in Paris. There, he published a series of chapbooks, Par Avion, which was sold by bouquinistes along the Seine. As a computer scientist, Joel builds information systems for a research institute that develops treatments for cancer. He lives in Cambridge Massachusetts.
