Divertimiento, the latest book from Julian Gallo, is book 10 in the Pocket Protector series of mini-poetry-chaps. Don't get us wrong -- mini in size does not mean mini in poetry, as this chap weighs in at a hefty 33 poems packed into a 1/16th sized book. These poems weave music, past loves, present loves, life experiences, city tales, Sicilian heritage, and politics into an interesting varied life story. Full of emotion, sarcasm, questioning, and longing, Gallo's words are honest, story-like, easy to understand while remaining mysterious; comprehensible and relatable while staying poetic. Copies can now be purchased online; or through the mail for $3 (plus $2 US shipping; $3 out-of-US shipping) via cash, check, or money order made out to Alternating Current, PO Box 398058, Cambridge MA 02139 USA; or via PayPal with the email address alt.current@gmail.com. All authors on our press receive royalties for each copy sold, and each purchase comes with a free random book from the archives while we clean house.
