Giovanni Mason-Brookes

Giovanni—Gio for short—is a Senior at Central Connecticut State University currently pursuing degrees in English & Art History, while minoring in Creative Writing. His academic studies and research focus on representations of Monastic Masculinity in Art and Literature; specifically, what he calls, “the archetype of the suffering man.” In his own creative pursuits, Gio uses writing as exploration of his own masculinity, faith, and grief.
