John Palcewski has enjoyed an eclectic career as a publishing house copywriter, wire service photojournalist, magazine editor, music/drama critic, short story writer, and fine arts photographer. His work appears in the literary and academic press as well as in a substantial number of online publications. A former New Yorker, he lives in a vineyard’s villa near the village of Forio on Ischia, a volcanic island in the bay of Naples, not far from Capri. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism from Moravian College, and studied photography and videotape production at New York University. Palcewski's profile of jazz great Miles Davis appears in MILES ON MILES, an anthology recently published by Lawrence Hill Books, an imprint of Chicago Review Press.
