Joe Dimino is a poet who gives us riffs bright, kindly and thoughtful. He looks and listens for those singing on their instruments. He write about several pleasures: Jazz veterans; Jazz custodians; his son's ever-fanciful language on Post-It notes. He delights in a 'little pig / wagging its tiny tail / like mad / and eating everything [ ... ]'. He sees from his home the 'white-throated sparrow that sends / out these little love notes [ ... ]', transporting his (Joe Dimino's) wife to 'another planet made / of / red / feathery / hearts.' He's a poet finding currents and snapshots of life in the everyday."—Don Paul, Author of The World is Turning

The American Enigma is You is a collection of poetry from the Kansas City-based writer. “Joe's words are innovative- buzzing with improvisational nostalgic imagery, much like jazz music itself. His words pulstate and pop, captivating the reader's mind and attention. Packed with wisdom, wit, and humor these poems are a delight from start to finish."
