Emilio DeGrazia

Emilio DeGrazia, a long-time resident of Winona, Minnesota, founded Great River Review in 1977. A first collection of short fiction, Enemy Country (New Rivers Press), was selected by Anne Tyler for a Writer’s Choice Award, and a novel, Billy Brazil (New Rivers Press), was chosen for a Minnesota Voices award. A second story collection, Seventeen Grams of Soul, received a Minnesota Book Award in 1995, and a second novel, A Canticle for Bread and Stones, appeared in 1996.  In the past few years DeGrazia published Burying the Tree, his first collection of essays; a memoir (of sorts) called Walking on Air in a Field of Greens; Seasonings, a first collection of poetry; and Eye Shadow, creative non-fiction. He also has served two terms as Winona’s Poet Laureate.
