Synopsis

Front Porch World View is a collection of vignettes in a world that really doesn't much allow for the poetry of people sitting, talking, laughing and playing music on front porches anymore. Guruianu's poetry is one long blues song, 21st century America currently crashing all around us. The power of Front Porch View resides in the beauty and dignity the poet distills from his and others' lives through his heart-shaking language. A book for our times." -Susan Deer Cloud, recipient of a NEA Fellowship and author of The Last Ceremony "Dark exuberance Exuberant darkness Both phrases describe the power of Andrei Guruianu's poems in this vivid autobiographical collection. A sense of flight and settling, coming and going, leaving and staying moves through them as he observes and interprets the people and places of his life with the quick intelligence of a wild bird intent on survival, or a traveler who knows home is a haven as long as the door doesn't shut too tight." -Katharyn Howd Machan, former poet laureate of Tompkins County --Back Cover Blurbs
