J Diego Frey will be reading from his first book of poems, Umbrellas Or Else, published by Ghost Road Press. JD enjoys writing poetry that is enjoyable to read. He takes less pleasure in the writing of complex and impenetrable poems, hence much of his work is simple-minded and lightweight. Such is the nature of art. He is a product of suburban Colorado in the seventies, so take that into account as well and you should have a pretty good picture of what you can expect with this particular poet. Also, he likes talking about underpants, cheeseburgers and the vagaries of myterious chance. JD lives very near to Denver, CO, the site of his kidhood. | |||
