LOW ITALIAN: Poems
Bordighera, 2006
ISBN 1-884419-81-X
"'I'm through being Italian' announces the title of the first poem in this book. Those of us who are not through with it will get a headache from all the nods of recognition that George Guida's sharp and surprising poems will provoke, as they move from bitter irony to lyrical tenderness and back again. Those who never were Italian will be given a rare insight into what it feels like. And everyone will have a high time with Low Italian."
--Michael Palma, Author of A Fortune in Gold, Translator of Dante's Inferno and Poetry Editor of Italian Americana

"George Guida's book brings the critical and cultural study of Italian-American literature to a new level. It identifies a tradition and traces its evolution, using the tools of both history and personal history. It makes an eloquent and important contribution to a burgeoning new field."
--Morris Dickstein, Author of Leopards in the Temple and Distinguished Professor, City University of New York Graduate School and University Center
