Picture

BRICE PARTICELLI is a 2017 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellow in Nonfiction and a 2017-2018 Wilson Center Fellow for his research in education. His research focuses on writing pedagogy and genre studies, and his narrative essays span memoir, personal essay, travel, and literary journalism with topics built around environment, urban development, education, and post-colonial issues. He is the co-editor of America Street [revised]: A Multicultural Anthology of Stories (Persea Books, 2019), author of the accompanying Teachers Guide, and editor of the upcoming anthology, In Between (Persea Books, 2021).

He is working on two books—a narrative nonfiction book focused on educational disinformation communities (with serialized essays forthcoming in Guernica and Salmagundi), and a coming-of-age novel set on a small island in the Pacific island nation of Kiribati.
