Some tidbits about me... I turned down a scholarship to Miskatonic University because I heard of the high rate of incidents against the student population. I briefly worked for Omni Consumer Products in their Marketing Department. Great benefits, nice cafeteria, sadly too prone to executive whim. Last year I stayed at the noted Mauna Pele resort in Hawaii. The accommodations were impressive but my traveling companion disappeared soon after wanting to attend a pig roast. I've slept with one minor porn star and with a guy who later became one. And I happen to have written some fanfic that inspired the memorable holodeck scene in Star Trek: Hidden Frontiers episode "Vigil"

Drew Pisarra once toured his monologues on both coasts and even had a ventriloquist act but has since retired from the world of dummies. His poetry has been called "brazen and lusty and often amusing" by "The Washington Post" while his short stories have been described as "thematically complex and often disturbing" by "The Empty Closet." He is also the recipient of grants/commissions from Cafe Royal Cultural Foundation, Curious Elixirs: Curious Creators, Portland Art Museum, P.I.C.A., Brooklyn Arts Exchange, and Imago Theatre. Additionally, he was a featured poet at The Whitney Biennial 2022, as part of a two-day reading marathon hosted by A Gathering of the Tribes.
