k.g. Sambrano is the highly acclaimed author of numerous short stories, and poetry collections. His first novella, The Killing of Jack Little, rose to popularity with critics and readers praising his narrative/poetic style, which has been compared to Michael Ondatjee and Amy Hempel.

 

A prolific and widely published author, Sambrano's latest collection is "So Say We All- 8 Poems of Hope", a project in which Sambrano writes from the point of view of 7 separate characters from the re-imagined television series Battlestar Galactica. It is a "poetic experiment of unsurpassed realism".
