Crisis Chronicles Press is honored and ecstatic to celebrate Valentine's Day with the publication of Alex in Movieland (1943-1973), a major work by one of our favorite writers and artists, Alex Gildzen.
Alex in Movieland is a monumental work defying easy categorization. It is memoir, list, poetry, history and more, all in one, reading like a movie of the author's life in book form, replete with juicy detail. This new volume is 150 pages, perfect bound, 5.5 x 8.5". ISBN: 978-1-64092-947-0. Front cover art by the author. Available now for only $12 from Crisis Chronicles Press, 3431 George Avenue, Parma, Ohio 44134 USA.

Alex Gildzen lives in Palm Springs where he writes every day. In the
past year his poems have appeared in the anthologies "Love Jets" and
"The End of the World Project." He also makes art — from collages to
conceptual pieces such as "The Century Dimes" and "Box of Little Bags."
In addition he's become a model — with and without clothes — for
artists and photographers.
