A native New Yorker, STEPHEN BRUNO grew up scribbling words in marble notebooks and playing sports on the streets of the Bronx. He’s a graduate of CUNY Hunter College’s MFA program and the author of the memoir Building Material: The Memoir of a Park Avenue Doorman (Harper). Bruno resides in New York City, where he can still be found engaged in poetry and movement in the form of salsa dancing, which he loves.
