"In Made in the Image of Stones the past is not something you can learn about. It is the burden of inheritance, of a consciousness that we stand upon stones, that our foundations are shaky but they are all we have, that the image we have of ourselves is carved in the likeness of others. For more than eighty pages Guruianu carries the weight of this burden through poems where the surreal meets the painfully real, the strikingly vivid, a k ..."

Dead Reckoning Transatlantic Passages on Europe and America (Excelsior Editions) by AndreiGuruianu, Anthony Di Renzo, Guruianu Di Renzo Paperback, 230 Pages, Published 2016 by Excelsior Editions/State University Of New Yo ISBN-13: 978-1-4384-6112-0, ISBN: 1-4384-6112-7
"A poet and essayist attempt to find their bearings in a civilization lost at sea. Dead reckoning is the nautical term for calculating a ship’s position using the distance and direction traveled rather than instruments or astronomical observation. For those still recovering from the atrocities of the twentieth century, however, the term has an even grimmer meaning: toting up the butcher’s bill of war and genocide. As its title s ..."

"Throughout thirteen stories, Body of Work chronicles the physical and emotional toll of characters consumed by the all-too-human need for a connection. Their world is achingly common — beauty and regret, obsession and self-doubt, the seductive charm of loneliness. Often fragmented, whimsical, always on the verge of melancholy, the collection is a sepia-toned portrait of nostalgia — each story like an artifact of our impermanence, an emb ..."
"As one of its driving principles, The Afterlife of Discarded Objects: Memory and Forgetting in a Culture of Waste analyzes the double reconstitution of discarded items. In this afterlife, discarded objects might transform from a worthless object into a plaything or a work of art, and then to an artifact marking a specific historical time period. This transformation is represented through various forms of recollection--stories, photograp ..."

"Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. Soccer balls putter down dusty streets, classmates forage through dumps for toys, while friends carry on inexplicably hopeful conversations in bread lines. This extraordinary memoir captures the essence of cultural dislocation and hope. Guruianu eloquently conveys the impact of immigration on his family, contrasting the hardships of Ceausescu's Romania with the challenges of adaptation to the United States. ..."

Exile by AndreiGuruianu 36 Pages, Published 2010 ISBN-13: 978-0-9842473-4-9, ISBN: 0-9842473-4-3
"In Exile Andrei Guruianu reveals two worlds, two lives on two continents."
"Andrei Guruianu’s poetry explores the often tentative line between displacement and the possibilities of living in the lyrical moment. Like Williams, he is a poet of contact. Moments become place and place becomes the contingency of exile, of being “set forth” into the world to seek one’s fortune. And Nothing Was Sacred Anymore explores the paradox of being grounded in a history that has no ground on which to stand. —Joe Weil, author of ..."
