FEATURED WRITERS
Larry Jabbonsky – A poet trapped inside the body of a business writer, Larry Jabbonsky spent 40 years in corporate America before breaking free (with a push) in the fall of 2020 to pursue his lifetime passion for the twist of a phrase full time.
He has shared his poetry to growing audiences at National Public Radio, twice been featured on WNYC Radio’s Poetry Month, been invited to read at the University of Bridgeport, and is a frequent contributor to Connecticut’s “Ezra Lovecroft Presents… the Unexpected Poet”.
He will be reading tonight from his long-awaited inaugural chapbook titled Between Calls (and other stops) also scheduled for release this October.
Larry lives in South Norwalk, Connecticut, with his eminently more famous wife Sharon McIntosh and a Black Labrador named Ink. He (Larry, not the dog) has three adult children and four dependably smile- inducing grandchildren.
Fred Schneider – A former humor essayist on public radio, Fred J Schneider is a novelist, poet and playwright now living a snow-less life in South Carolina. He is the author of four novels including Cats in a Chowder, Pig in Flight, Last Stop Ronkonkoma, and his latest, the just completed Sauerkraut Song slated for publication in 2026.
His novels have received critical success with Kirkus declaring Last Stop Ronkonkoma , Fred’s semi-autobiographical look at a family put asunder by competing religious prophecies, “Comically inventive, tenderly poignant, funny and moving”.
Forward had this to say about Pig in Flight, Fred’s novel based on the true story of the first pig to be nominated for president, Pigasus in 1968 , “It’s hard not to fall in love with this far-out work. Schneider wins his audience!”
Kirkus agreed, calling the novel “A wildly funny sendup with a keen sensitivity to the political surreal!”
His collection of short work, “Somewhere, Over the Transom”, from which he will be reading tonight, is slated to hit the press in October.
Fred is the father of two daughters, and a husband of forty five years.
