Biography
J Diego Frey is the preposterous nom de plume for a human poet raised in the southeast corner of Denver, Colorado, from a time at least a few years before anybody’s hiking boots scuffed up the Moon.
J Diego has published two collections of poetry, Umbrellas or Else and The Year the Eggs Cracked, both of which are considered essential reading in several very hip bathrooms. The books can be purchased from the publisher, Conundrum Press, an imprint of Bower House Books (bowerhousebooks.com), for less than you would spend on overpriced coffee and prune danish over the course of a very jittery Monday. The books offer a unique aggregation of both formal and decidedly informal verse that comment on and rhyme with a cross-section of mundanity in modern (read, the last 40 years or so) American life.
J Diego also offers written samples of himself at www.JDiego.com, an antiquated website that he built after learning HTML in a night school class back in the early days of the world wide web. In addition, he keeps samples of his various obsessive writing projects at a series of blogs with ridiculous names: “Haikus from Hell” (www.HaikusFromHell.com), “About the Author” (www.AboutAuthor.blogspot.com), “Provurgatory (Proverbs from Purgatory)” (www.Provurgatory.blogspot.com), and, of course, everyone’s favorite drinking game for writers—“PocketBucket Lists” (www.PocketBucket.info).
