Meet The Editors

Edward G. Happ

E.G. Happ is editor and founder of The Fairfield Review, Connecticut's first on-line literary magazine. A resident of Norwalk, CT, Mr. Happ is CIO for an international nonprofit charity in Westport, Connecticut. Mr. Happ has been writing poetry for the past thirty years, publishing under the nom de plume of Gordon Edwards. He was a runner up in the 1994 Poet magazine's annual American Chapbook contest, and the 1996 Stamford Ferguson Library Literary Competition. A graduate of the Liberal Arts College of Drew University, he began writing poetry in the eighth grade, at the encouragement of a junior high school English teacher. He is a member of the Lingua North writing group. Mr. Happ writes, "I strive for two things in each piece. On the first reading I want readers to hear something that connects with their own experience. On second reading I hope they see with me the more that is 'enclothed' beneath the common surface."

His poems may be found on our archive pages, under Gordon Edwards, and in three chapbooks: Words for Music, 1997, These Four White Clapboard Walls, 1997, and Lenten Poems, 2004.
