"First Class Bilingual Publisher, Editor, Writer, Social-Activist and campaigner for equality. An exceptionally talented writer, a humanitarian, devoted to the arts & literature, Edward is a brilliant mind, who has made more than his mark on the Texas (and beyond) Latino/a literature scene and expanded to include others throughout the world, as his reputation precedes him. He is more than a credit to his community(s) he is a galvanizing force in the literature, writing and publishing world, both at a grass-roots level with his Rio Grande Journal and Festival, and on an international stage, with the recognition, respect and momentum he generates. His FlowerSong Press has become a nationally and internationally admired publisher, with leading-voices in the indie writing marketplace as well as championing the unknown and lending gravitas to the upcoming. His own work is outstanding in its insights, beauty and truth. He is a man of his word and an asset to all who are fortunate to work with him. "
