Novelist, short story writer, poet and playwright, Michael Mirolla’s publications include a punk-inspired novella, The Ballad of Martin B. (Quattro Books); two novels: Berlin (a Bressani Prize winner as well as a finalist for the Indie Book and National Best Books Awards) (Leapfrog Press), and The Facility (Leapfrog Press), which features among other things a string of cloned Mussolinis; three short story collections: The Formal Logic of Emotion (translated into Italian), Hothouse Loves & Other Tales and the recently-released The Giulio Metaphysics III; and three collections of poetry: Light and Time, the English-Italian bilingual Interstellar Distances – Distanze Interstellari, and The House on 14th Avenue, based on the house in Montreal where his parents resided for more than 40 years (Signature Editions, 2013). A short story collection, Lessons In Relationship Dyads, is scheduled with Red Hen Press in the U.S. His short story, “A Theory of Discontinuous Existence,” was selected for The Journey Prize Anthology, while another short story, “The Sand Flea,” was nominated for the Pushcart Prize. His poem “Blind Alley” was shortlisted for the Winston Collins/Descant Prize for Best Canadian Poem in 2007. Michael calls himself a Montreal-Toronto corridor writer because he spends so much time commuting between the two cities. He is the co-owner of Guernica Editions.
