Stephen Grosso, born in Brooklyn, NY, spent his youth in New York City. He worked at the City University of New York until he moved to the Catskill Mountains in Upstate New York, with his wife and young son, where he devoted himself to his craft of writing. He has published 11 works of short stories, biographies, essays, and poetry, as well as, many poems and articles in magazines.. His works are a spiritual reflection on the mysteries of life, suffering ,and hope.. He takes a hard look at the brutalizing effect of “civilization” on people and on nature. And finally, he faces his own death with fear, courage, and hope.

Steve spent much of his adult life looking for the meaning of life and looking for his own spirituality.  His writings reflect that quest, looking for the answers to human suffering and the after life..

Stephen was a writer in love with the beauty of the English language and its ability to move and inspire us. His poetry and prose put into words the questions and longings we all find lurking in ourselves when we stop long enough to be aware of them. The reader will be sometimes uneasy, at times hopeful, and others sad, but never despairing. Stephen died in April 2006, still writing poetry two days before his death.

I hope you enjoy his works as much as many readers did over the years.  Select one of his books, order it, and when you receive it sit back in an easy chair, as Steve would have done, and enjoy the journey that Steve will take you on.
