Phillip Giambri left home at eighteen and never looked back. He’s seen and done what others dream of or fear. That’s how he lives and that’s what he writes. He was 2022 winner of the Nassau County Poet Laureate Society poetry contest and a 2020 Acker Award recipient for Storytelling. Phillip's 2022 memoir Good Boy, Bad Boy, A Better Man covers his early life in the 40s in South Philadelphia up to his life in the East Village in the 70s. Phillip’s 2020 novelette The Amorous Adventures of Blondie and Boho is a story of love, survival, and gentrification in NYC’s East Village and the chapbook Poems from an Unending Pandemic offers his perspective on NYC life during the COVID-19 pandemic. His 2017 chapbook Love Borne in Retrograde is a collection of love poems and erotica and the 2016 memoir Confessions of a Repeat Offender is a compilation of his performance stories and poems.
