Phillip Bannowsky

Award-winning author Phillip Bannowsky writes on the human and mundane vs. our historical juggernaut. Long stretches as Navy brat, autoworker, international educator, college adjunct, and activist stock his arsenal.

Despite his many heresies, Bannowsky has twice been awarded grants by the Delaware Division of the Arts, first for his novel The Mother Earth Inn (Broken Turtle Books, 2007) and second, for his latest work, Jacobo the Turko: a novel in verses (Broken Turtle Books, 2021).

While Bannowsky was humping Chrysler’s assembly line, he created Autoplant: a Poetic Monologue, with which he sharpened his performance chops at regional venues including college campuses, bookstores, and Fringe Festivals in both Philadelphia and Wilmington. One can sample his entertaining delivery at his website, phillipbannowsky.com.
