The American Enigma is You

The American Enigma is You

By Joe Dimino

Published: 2024

Jazzy and haiku-like — here’s a cat who gets it.
~ Kevin Rabas, Poet Laureate of Kansas, 2017-2019, All That Jazz

Spare, jazz-inflected, observations revealing a world of lost grocery lists, blaring amusement parks, discarded furniture, and the rare precious communication on a post-it note.
~ Lisa B, God in Her Ruffled Dress

Harkens back to the Beats and the syncopating heartbeat and breath that belongs to music.
~ Valerie Johns, Psychotherapist, Storyteller, Poet & Author, Ashes in the Milk and Night Flights, Dream Poems

Innovative and buzzing with improvisational imagery, much like jazz itself — a delight from start to finish.
~ Elena Stephenson, Author of Pink Door Series
