Poetry. Goerge Guida's first collection of poems, LOW ITALIAN, shows that he ..".is a comic genius who is writing some of the funniest, most successfully satiric poems about Italian American behavior and culture, and by extension, ethnicity in general. His work has the self-assurance of a master: his voice can be assertive, ironic, self-reflexive, harlequinesque, self-depricating, and noble, all the time remaining spontaneous, unified, and faithful to its own unique vision"--John Paul Russo, Co-Editor of the ITALIAN AMERICANA.
