Ed Cullen's "Attic Salt" appears on the front of the Sunday People section, as well as at www.2theadvocate.com. The column's name, which means "subtly humorous or poignant," gives Cullen a lot of latitude.
An essayist on "All Things Considered," National Public Radio's afternoon news and feature program from Washington, D.C., Cullen's commentaries can be heard at www.npr.org.
A collection of his NPR essays and newspaper columns entitled "Letter in a Woodpile" has been published by Cool Springs Press, literary division of Thomas Nelson.
You may reach Ed Cullen at (225) 388-0306 or ecullen@theadvocate.com.
