Writer
Welcome to the website! I'm John Paul. I'm a fiction writer who likes stories that take you in unexpected directions, and I'm a fan of characters with depth along with worlds that seem to keep going on after we've stopped reading them. Ideally, I accomplish this in my own writing, so if that interests you, keep on scrolling and see what you can find! Also, because I love stories: here a some of my favorites: The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles, The House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski, A River Runs Through It by Norman Maclean, Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, and whatever's next on my reading queue (right now that's Peace by Richard Bausch). Also, "Sonny Blues" by James Baldwin is now forever locked into my head.
Bio
If you want to use my bio for some "official business," here it is: John Paul Cacioppo earned an MFA (Fiction) at The Writer's Foundry at St. Joseph's University, and a BA in Creative Writing at the University of Iowa. Right now, he's housed in Brooklyn, but he has his home roots in Miami, FL. He's working on a novel, but he likes to dabble with all sorts of stories and poems
Current Projects
Poetry Project: Is a poetry collection inspired by this list of Eucharistic Miracles that St. Carlo Acutis had put together on this site. https://www.miracolieucaristici.org/en/liste/list.html I'll be posting videos of the poems on my Youtube channel at "Another Creative Writing Channel".
Fiction Project: Is a novel exploring themes of loneliness, forgiveness, and prayer.
