Biography
Biography
And other prisons, Kobryn's novel, was first represented by Kurt Hellmer. Framework, verse, and Attica State, a work in verse, were first broadcast on WBAI. Poseidon's Shadow, a novel projecting the theme of the Iliad in Cold War terms, published by Scribner, contains one of the earliest references to the existence of stealth technology. Kobryn also performed voice over and character work, having first performed, as well as produced, at WBAI in 1976, since which time he had lent his voice to such varied projects as PBS's Nova and the Asymmetric Warfare Group. Kobryn, who lived in New York, collaborated with composer Wang Jie, and was thought to be preparing to end his long artistic silence until his death in 2023.
