"Phillip Giambri is a two-headed fire-breathing dragon, and his first collection of poems and stories mercilessly and mercifully scorch the earth with hope and regret, anger and love, foolishness and cut-out-the-fucking-bullshit-ness, and get real, asshole. They are cynically sentimental, leaving the reader feeling at once hollow and powerless, then fully indestructible. This slim volume goes around world; sometimes in a hot-wired car speeding down a back country road, sometimes in a submarine deep in the Baltic Sea. But whether in a crowded Lower East Side Dive Bar in the 80s or a Scottish Cemetery at the height of the Cold War, Giambri's lean and lusty prose brings both his ordinary and unique experiences to vibrant life." - Russell Atwood, Author "Losers Live Longer."

About The Author: Phillip Giambri aka "The Ancient Mariner" A product of the streets of South Philadelphia, he obtained his deviant perspective on life listening to Jean Shepherd on WOR radio back in the '50s. Fleeing Philly at seventeen, he served in the US Navy Submarine Force, has been an actor, hairstylist, stoner, janitor, writer, drifter, recording engineer, hired hand, poet, traveling salesman, barfly, banker, biker, bronco buster, announcer, mail-order minister, photographer, and "Computer Guru". He arrived in NY City in '68, joined the Hippie pilgrimage to St. Marks Place, and never left. He's attended too many schools to mention, studying nearly everything, without ever attaining a degree in anything. His work has appeared in Artists in the Kitchen, "Walt's Corner" in The Long Islander, Silver Birch Press, and NewYorkCityTalking.com. He curates a popular monthly spoken word/poetry event, Rimes of The Ancient Mariner as well as special collaborative events with other artist/performers; most recently the very successful, Barflies & Broken Angels, The Losers Club and What The Hell Is Love? He performs original solo shows as "The Barfly," "The Village Idiot," and "The Drunken Sailor." His website "Ancient Mariner Tales" offer bored web surfers a glimpse into his futile search for self-discovery and meaning. He can be found regularly spinning yarns and telling tall tales anywhere that will tolerate him. www.AncientMarinerTales.com
