Dale Corvino found his voice at the East Village literary salon “Dean Johnson’s Reading for Filth.” In 2018, he won the Gertrude Press Fiction contest, judged by Brontez Purnell. His essays include a meditation on queer longing in the digital era for Matt Keegan’s 1996 and a profile of Pedro Lemebel for the G&L Review. BONDS & BOUNDARIES, his short story collection, was published in 2023 by Rebel Satori. His memoir of sex work, AFTERLIFE OF A KEPT BOY, was published in May 2025 by C&R Press.
