Hello Friend,
This week the Delaware Call presents two poems excerpted from Phillip Bannowsky’s new novella, Jacobo the Turko; a novel in verses.
The narrative is told in a series of poetry and tells the story of a South American immigrant who comes to work in Rehoboth Beach. He is subsequently deported mistakenly to the Middle East. Jacobo then gets caught up in events that lead to his arrest by US Forces and his detention in Guantanamo Bay Prison.
The Delaware Call is committed to offering new and unique media and art relevant to the communities of Delaware. We hope you enjoy these poems and consider purchasing the book for an interesting summer beach read. (But not from Amazon!)
Solidarity,
THE DELAWARE CALL TEAM

Phillip and I have been friends for 30 years. He’s a good man with one of the most interesting life stories around. I’ll be reading Jacobo in the next few weeks.
His poetry is dope. This FYI post doesn’t do it justice.
Thanks for the mention. The best way to buy Jacobo the Turko is to ask your local independent bookstore to order it for you. An online alternative is Bookshop.org, which supports local bookstores. If you want to know more about the book, I recreated a Zoom roll-out in a YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5CPCwBcVv8&t=1743s
