Julio Montalvo Valentin is the author of two chapbooks, Don’t Give up the Ship and Ship Lost.  His poetry is published in online journals including Thimble Literary Magazine and Plurality Press.  Late 2018 his not-yet titled chapbook on Rice is anticipated from NightBallet Press. No longer an editor and publisher, Julio is busy working on another new project, converting a school bus into a poetry caravan for his upcoming poetry tour.  Until then, you just may find him at a mic in Buffalo, NY.
