American paprika : prose poems /
Gloviczki, Peter Joseph,author.
"These poems reach across the human experience in search of the concrete and the sublime. Taken together, these poems seek to explore an experience that is uniquely American and yet resonates with individuals around the world. The title of the collection, American Paprika, invites the reader to embrace the blend of people, places and things that typifies what it means to be American, at home and abroad. Inviting dialogue across cultures, traditions and geographies, these poems ask as many questions as they might answer, holding true to the notion that each day is an opportunity to learn new things, while also recognizing the core values that instill in us a sense of place. From Eastern Europe and across the United States of America, these poems seek to invite a call and response with individuals around the United States and throughout the world. This book is centered in the belief that giving voice to one{u2019}s hopes and dreams is both a source of excitement and a profound calling. Exploring the particulars of everyday life, these poems seek real-world knowledge through first-hand experiences. American Paprika engages the allure of travel and the comforts of finding a way home." -- Back cover.
