Spotlight On Writers
John Grochalski
- Where, do you hail from?
I’m originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but have primarily lived in Brooklyn, New York since 2003, with the exception of a two-year stint in Buffalo, New York, when I moved there for the weather.
- What is the greatest thing about the place you call home?
Art museums, pizza and anonymity.
- What turns you on creatively?
Peace and quiet, constant self-examination and a liquor store that stays open beyond 10 PM that employs non-judgmental cashiers.
- What is your favorite word, and can you use it in a poetic sentence?
Mendacious
In a sentence? My upstairs neighbor told a mendacious story when she claimed it wasn’t her bass music coming through my ceiling.
- What is your pet peeve?
Upstairs neighbors and the inherent tiredness that comes with aging.
- What defines John Grochalski?
The thoughts and words of other people…but I tend not to believe the things they say.
