Two of DiPalermo's poems were finalists for the Steve Kowit Poetry Prize and he earned several ensemble awards for We All Die Alone (2021).

Personal life

DiPalermo earned a degree in Master of Fine Arts at Vermont College of Fine Arts in 2021.[1][2]

Career

In the 1990s, DiPalermo was the solo performer for five characters in two plays he wrote; Something in Common and Public Transit, Private Parts. He portrayed Frankie, Thommy or Tommy, Sonny or Sunny, Joe, and Rozz or Roz.[3][4][5]

1995: Something in Common

DiPalermo's play Something in Common premiered at Diversionary Theatre in San Diego, California. It was a one man show where five characters interact at a bus stop. Pat Stein at North County Blade-Citizen praised DiPalermo's performances and writing.[3] William Fark at Escondido Times-Advocate said the show "can still be tightened and polished."[4]

1996: Public Transit, Private Parts

DiPalermo's play Public Transit, Private Parts, which touched on topics of AIDS and Alzheimer's disease, premiered in San Diego before continuing at Theatre Rhinoceros in San Francisco, California. Chad Jones at Bay Area Reporter said it "is 30 minutes too long and tends to ramble" and praised DiPalermo's performance over writing.[5]

2010-2020

In 2010, DiPalermo's "Body of Christ" was published in Slow Trains Literary Journal. His essay Diver Dan, initially titled A True State Of Grace, was broadcast on Living on Earth.[6]

Kathy, a short film, is based on DiPalermo's experience as a gay man being raised in a religious environment.[7] In 2020, DiPalermo's short story "The Friendship Gallery" was published in Beyond Words[8] and a piece he wrote was published in Ruminate Magazine.[9] Two of his essays were published in The Whole Alphabet: The Light and the Dark.[10]
