My Wonder Years

In My Wonder Years, author/poet Jeffrey Pipes Guice presents a moving collection of short stories, poems and photographs from growing up in New Orleans during the 60s and 70s, a thrillingly tumultuous time of sex, drugs and rock n’ roll. Illustrating how we can never really escape our roots, Guice’s journey allowed him to see how searching for a place and a purpose allowed him the space for self-reflection and the ability to see the person he wanted to be. His enlightenment came and from there, a lifetime of self-discovery while striving to become the type of son, companion, father and friend he could be proud of. Guice describes his memoir as a cross between A Streetcar Named Desire and Confederacy of Dunces with a sprinkling of The Big Easy. Brimming with American nostalgia, My Wonder Years will surely resonate with anyone who’s ever struck out on their own to find themselves.

The journey within…

Having grown up in the internationally loved city of New Orleans, with all its delicious food, unique music, eccentric and sometimes backward culture, I realized early on and I wanted to get out and see the rest of the world.

After spending years working in Washington, DC and New York City and traveling extensively throughout Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as visiting some interesting places such as Yemen, Havana, Jerusalem, Moscow, Argentina, and even spending some time in Antarctica, I came to realize that I never really stopped to discover myself, who I am on the inside, and who I wanted to be as a son, a father, a friend and a companion.

This, my fourth book of poetry and short stories, is based on my journey from my first 18 years. Hopefully, there will be more to come as I continue to travel on this exciting discovery of who I am on this journey within.
