Deno Gell

Deno Gell is a poet and the founder of Gell Studio Presents, a platform for poetry and lyrical expression.

His debut collection, "Dreaming of North Beach (from Corporate America)," draws from years spent straddling two worlds: the corporate halls of the tech industry and the dive bars, backstreets, and poetic after-hours of San Francisco. Shaped by music, burnout, and the city itself, his voice explores the absurdity, ache, and dark humor of modern work life.

Kirkus Reviews notes: "Gell deftly takes down corporate culture in this incisive poetry collection... his vulnerability humanizes the narrative... An astute, entertaining appraisal of the daily grind."

Originally from Chico, California, Deno has lived and worked in San Francisco since 2010.
