The thriving, international city of New Orleans is brimming with delicious food, unique music, and eccentric, sometimes backwards, culture. Exposure to such a rich, diverse environment pushed a young Jeffrey Pipes Guice to explore more. He would spend years in New York City and Washington D.C. and travel the world. He traversed, Europe, Africa, Asia, and even spent some time in Antarctica. The only place he never set out to discover was inside himself.

"Defining Moments" is a poetic journey within. Prose stories are mixed into the lyrical works which express the excitement of discovery and insights gained from a lifetime of travel— plus a bit of introspection.
