Felix Purat is a malfunctioning Berkeley byproduct. A Graduate from the now-defunct Cultural Translation MA program at the American University of Paris, he now lives in Bohemia where the rivers flow with pilsner beer and pessimism. An aspiring full-time writer, A Drinking Horn of Accumulated Expiries is his debut collection. Elsewhere, Felix has had poems published in the Paris/Atlantic, Poetry Salzburg Review, Pulsar, Ink Sweat & Tears, Vox Poetica, Allegro Poetry Magazine, Two Thirds North and Orbis Int'l. Felix has just completed a novella, titled Calm Before an Earthquake, as well as a second collection of poetry titled Mews for the Tarpans of the World.
