Steven Paul Lansky lives in Clifton, an urban Cincinnati neighborhood. He likes to paint, sketch, play harmonica, and write poetry. His works include the chapbooks, Main St., and Eleven Word Title for Confessional Political Poetry Originally Composed for Radio; a novella, A Black Bird Fell Out of the Sky; and a collection of vignettes and sketches, Life is a Fountain. His audiobook, Jack Acid, may be found on Spotify and Apple Music.
Lansky will read from his memoir, The Break. Fellow author Jeff Parker, Ovenman, describes The Break as “yet another wild literary ride. Incisively self-reflective and told with skill, charm, and brutal honesty, it's a work quite unlike any other that I'm aware of in the literature of mental health.”
