From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kerry Marino is a writer, editor, and musician living in New York. She likes to devour books, write, travel, learn about culture and technology, and play music.
WORK EXPERIENCE:
Since May 2006, Kerry has worked for The Adirondack Review, a journal of the literary arts. She started as an intern and worked her way up to Associate Editor. She is currently a Contributing Editor and the Manager of the Fulton Fiction Prize.
In July 2006, she became the Editorial Director for Air Service Directory, Inc., a small publisher to the Aerospace Industry. She spent a lot of time researching the aerospace industry, learning for the first time about fighter jets, helicopters, and transport vehicles. She wrote feature articles and departments for the magazine and managed an entire team of freelance writers. She also had the opportunity to go to trade shows to promote the magazine and talk with aerospace professionals.
Kerry is currently looking for a creative-type job where she can showcase her writing, editing, and problem-solving skills.
Versatility
If she were to be a copy-writer for a perfume company, like Humbert Humbert was in Lolita, she would say this of Burberry London Men's Perfume: A natural essence for the modern man with the seductive aroma of classic strength. A clash between a rugged woodsman and a gentleman, alluringly smoking his pipe in an oak cabin.
If she were to write to an employer in hopes that they would hire me, she would write: This creative fire-cracker has what it takes to blow you into the skies. She has a can-do attitude and a way with words that will make you melt like a luscious dark chocolate waterfall in the strawberry summer air.
If she would write a letter to my friend who just found out that she was a zombie, she would write:
Dear Debbie, Don't worry. If I have learned anything in life, it's that you have to adapt to new life changes. I'm not saying that it's an easy ride ahead of you, but if you've got the motivation and the right outlook, you can do it. Something tells me you'll surpass it and one day make NOT being a zombie a taboo...

SHOWCASE POEM
What will we be when we grow up?
Every year, people want things faster, and they get it. Faster, better, and tiny enough that you could hold it between two fingers and place it in the corner of your eye and mock tears streaming down, glistening from the lights of your devices
Soon no tears will flow, but tiny little numbers that you catch in your hand and place inside a machine that adds up your feelings and tells you how it feels to see someone die To feel something die within yourself and the others around you.
Rooms grow quieter Voices get softer Echoes become extinct What will we be then?
