Karyn Polewaczyk is a matchbook rendezvous.

Karyn Polewaczyk is a Jill-of-all-trades who resides in the Boston area. Her work has appeared in a smattering of nooks and crannies, including Elle and More; and, occasionally, appears within relatively anonymous literary journals. Karyn recently competed on stage at Opium‘s Literary Death Match, where she wowed the crowd with tales of a one-night stand gone awry.  When she’s not busy convincing people that the Polish subsist on more than just vodka and kielbasa, she enjoys laughing at inappropriate moments, hearty Celtic accents, and the peace that subsides in Cambridge once Harvard shuts down for the summer.  Karyn also makes rare contributions to her lackadaisical blog, KarynWithaWhine.com.

Karyn is the confessional writer for the October 17 reading.
