- Q6776401 abstract "Martin Pousson (born April 13, 1966) is an American novelist, poet, and professor.He was born and raised in Louisiana, in the Cajun French bayou land of Acadiana. Some of his favorite writers include Carson McCullers, Truman Capote and James Baldwin, as well as Denis Johnson and Junot Diaz.His first novel, No Place, Louisiana (2002), was published by Riverhead Books, and it told the story of a Cajun family and an American dream gone wrong. The novel won acclaim from Pulitzer Prize-winner Michael Cunningham and the Los Angeles Times, and it was a finalist for the John Gardner Book Award in Fiction.His first collection of poetry, Sugar (2005), was published by Suspect Thoughts Press, and it centered on the lives of outsiders, especially Cajuns, Southerners and gay men. Some of the poems also dealt with racism and the AIDS epidemic. The collection was praised by Alfred Corn and Jake Shears, and it was named a finalist for the 2006 Lambda Literary Awards for Poetry. He says that this collection would not have ever been published if it were not for a friend's saved copy of the manuscript. In 2005, he was named one of the Leading Men of the Year by Instinct magazine, alongside Jake Shears, Robert Gant, and Keith Boykin.His stories, essays, and poems have appeared in The Antioch Review, Five Points , Epoch, StoryQuarterly, The Rattling Wall, Parnassus, ISLE: Oxford Journals, Icon, Chaparral, Verse Daily, Intersection, Love, Bourbon Street, The Louisiana Review, New Orleans Review, and Cimarron Review.He has taught at Columbia University in New York City, at Rutgers University in New Jersey and at Loyola University New Orleans.
