War Refugee Immigrants in America
A book talk & signing by John Guzlowski

John Guzlowski immigrated to America in the early 1950s as a war refugee during the last great refugee crisis—post-WWII Europe. His parents had been taken as slave laborers by the Germans and barely survived; his sister and he were born in Displaced Persons camps. John’s newest book, Echoes of Tattered Tongues: Memory Unfolded, describes the war refugee experience, using an innovative structure of poetry, prose and prose poems that unfold backwards in time.
