Phillip Giambri aka "The Ancient Mariner" www.ancientmarinertales.com/  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 eighteen,
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 2016 book Confessions of a
Repeat Offender is a compilation of his performance
stories and poems. His work has also appeared in Artists
in the Kitchen, “Walt’s Corner” in The
Long Islander, Silver Birch Press, and NewYorkCityTalking.com.
He produces and hosts a popular monthly spoken
word/poetry event, Rimes of The Ancient Mariner, now
in its fourth years, as well as special collaborative
events with other artist/performers; most recently the
very successful, Barflies & Broken Angels, What
the Hell Is Love? and The Losers Club. He’s
been a featured reader at the historic Club A in
Bucharest, Romania and can usually be found in East
Village dive bars, spinning yarns and telling tall tales,
anywhere that will tolerate him. |
