Reviews
“These new poems by Andrei Guruianu introduce us to a new
world, a fresh sensibility, never seen before. They jumpstart the heart like a bolt of lightning. The tenderness of his images,
memories infused with a beautiful melancholy and many
awakenings, carry our cold souls in out of the dark and
transport us home. Andrei Guruianu is a great writer and
Exile is a 'must have' for any poetry lover's collection.”
Leo Racicot Alone in the Yard
“In Exile Andrei Guruianu reveals two worlds, two lives on two continents. One is full of hardship yet luminosity. The other is full of irony and observation. Together they offer up a raw and powerful portrait of a bifurcated life, and all that means for this young poet, bursting with talent.”
Elizabeth Cohen The House on Beartown Road
"With his Old World voice, Andrei Guruianu elegantly conjures up images of the contemporary immigrant experience in a manner most literary and engaging. Absolutely topnotch writing."
