There are 9 things you need to know about Vincent Rendoni.

·      Author of an award-winning poetry book about his Latine / mixed upbringing. Ask him how he sold out his first 350-copy run.

·      Has a Master of Fine Art in Creative Writing. Talks about it an appropriate amount.

·      Taught creative writing at the Allegheny County Jail as part of an outreach program.

·      Leo sun. Leo moon. Leo rising. (No, he isn’t kidding.)

·      Previously lived in Italy, South Korea, Turkey, and Pittsburgh.

·      Fully understands one of these places is not like the other.
