Jeffrey Pipes Guice

About The Author

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

- Jeffrey Pipes Guice

Jeffrey Pipes Guice worked for years in New Orleans, Washington D.C., and New York City but still found time to journey worldwide. He traversed Europe, Asia, and Africa and even found time to observe penguins in Antarctica. He also spent time visiting exciting cities like Jerusalem, Havana, Yemen, Argentina, and Phuket, all searching for purpose. The only place Guice never set out to discover was inside himself.

His fifth book, "Finding My Hemingway" is his journey through travel, literature, photography, and self-discovery.

Poetry and short stories are mixed into this collection of lyrical works, which express the excitement of his learning and insights gained from his lifetime of travel, adventure, and literature- sprinkled with a bit of locally seasoned introspection.

They said I was a beauty

A Poem: The Devil’s Bite

They say she arrived in New Orleans
Just after the waters went down
The streets were dark and eerie
There was no one else around
She got off the Greyhound bus

The Library Card: Chapter One

The year was 1958, and Clay, as he was called, was with his mother celebrating his 58th birthday. He had his usual birthday dinner of steak, mashed potatoes, and a wop salad, capped off with a large slice of pound cake alamode with a liberal amount of Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup on top, all prepared by the family domestic, Edna, who had been with the family since Clay’s father was a teenage boy, long before his parents were married.

Passed out on the damp concrete stairs...
Along Lake Pontchartrain...
Surrounded by empty gin bottles...
Remembering nothing but my first name...
