"November Rust" Novel 2007 "November Rust is an exhilarating experiment when it comes to leaving behind the cosy confines of the tired and tested prose routes. Various writing styles are peppered throughout the book between the more straightforward narrative structure. This does keep the reader on their toes and adds an extra dimension to the tale, perfectly capturing the 'in transit' like quality of living in a foreign country." --- Garry Crystal, BrooWaha.com
"Nadería" Novel 2011
"Naderia is a joyously entertaining book and in some ways is a celebration of the journey of life. It’s an explosion of colors, cultures, humor and drama with an underlying heartbeat that drives the story onwards. This story can take the reader from the rainy boulevards of Paris to the sun soaked streets of Barcelona to New York where there is already another flight waiting to leave. There are some scenes in Naderia that should force readers to think about their own lives and the consequences their actions may have had on others, and for some this may be uncomfortable." --- Garry Crystal, BrooWaha.com

"A Symphony of Olives" Poetry Propaganda Press 2009
"A journey of finding one's self, jumping the hurdles and learning the path; the setting is left mostly to the reader's imagination, while the descriptions delight and intrigue. Poems about love, dissecting ethnic backgrounds and cultures passed down through the centuries; trying to come up with ideas and inspiration for writing and life, even through the rains and the mundane mendacity of everyday living; an anatomizing of the self, the assertion, the dichotomy of being, developing the ability to know your own next move, to put the puzzle together, even if it reveals nothing. The words are searching, questioning, sometimes answering (but only subtly), and introspective - revealing the small bits of madness that make us who we are and make the author pen these words." --- Leah Angstman
"Divertimiento" Poetry Propaganda Press 2009
Divertimiento, the latest book from Julian Gallo, is book 10 in the Pocket Protector series of mini-poetry-chaps. Don't get us wrong -- mini in size does not mean mini in poetry, as this chap weighs in at a hefty 33 poems packed into a 1/16th-sized book. These poems weave music, past loves, present loves, life experiences, city tales, Sicilian heritage, and politics into an interesting varied life story. Full of emotion, sarcasm, questioning, and longing, Gallo's words are honest, story-like, easy to understand while remaining mysterious; comprehensible and relatable while staying poetic.
