Umbrellas or Else

by J. Diego Frey

J Diego Frey is a product of suburban Colorado in the nineteen-seventies and an admirer of cheeseburgers. His poetry follows naturally from this. "Umbrellas or Else" is JD's first collection of poems. The title of the book was suggested to the poet by his father long before any of these poems were written, but somehow, it fits.

I picked this book up from a library for .50 cents. The book was in pretty good condition but they had one too many copies. I picked it out on a whim, there’s not too many things you can get for .50 cents; two gumballs, a handful of m&ms, 1/18th a gallon of gas. This was the best way to spend .50 cents, might even be worth more than the 12.99 listed price on the back. They were good, they were funny, they occasionally rhyme. Have fun with this one.

I love these poems. Shel Silverstein for adults is an apt description.
