West Roaring Brook And Other Poems

By: Patrick Cantwell Guinan

PA T R I C K G U I N A N is an unassuming poet who tries to express in a very natural tone and style what he has seen and dreamed or what life as shown him. Speaking of his poetry, Guinan has said, “I have tried to say a few things about love and life and our memories of things that make us happy or sad, and I have always tried to express these thoughts as simply and honestly as I know how.” In the tradition of William Carlos William, his poems are like little snapshots of the past, images or scenes that jar the memory and bring back times and thoughts that we all can share. His favorite poets are Frost and E. A. Robinson, Edgar Lee Masters, and Sandburg and their spirits are never far from his thoughts. In his mid sixties, Patrick Guinan is still a young poet who has found his voice and uses it to tell of his favorite memories and life’s best learned lessons. Growing up in small towns in Michigan and Illinois, the father of two grown children, he spent forty years teaching in Florida with brief stints as a politician and sports broadcaster. He now spends his time between his winter home in Bradenton, Florida, and his summer cottage by Northport Bay in the lovely woods of Northern Michigan where he lived his young dreams.

Down The Cloud Ladder

By: Patrick Cantwell Guinan

Down the Cloud Ladder is a collection of fifteen enchanting, haunting and sometimes humorous short stores. These vividly and sensitively told stories about love and lies, sorrow and joy, living and dying invoke emotions of tenderness and understanding and establishes Guinan as an author of powerful and resplendent fiction. As in his novella, Not A Dawn In Eastern Skies, the reader of these stories will journey from a small villa on the Northern shores of Lake Michigan to the quaint and time forgotten mountain villages of Old Mexico and other settings of romance and charm like St Mark’s Piazza of Venice and the French Quarter of New Orleans. In Down the Cloud Ladder are found nostalgic colored stores of perfect love and heart breaking beauty in a world that never promises happiness. They are stories of innocence and disillusionment and of the ever growing alienation of American Youth that has been symbolized during the 1960’s and the era of the Viet Nam War.

Not A Dawn In Eastern Skies

By: Patrick Cantwell Guinan

Not A Dawn In Eastern Skies is a modern love story surrounded by the disillusionment, disenchantment, and contagious alienation brought on by the era of the Viet Nam War and with the assassinations of America’s beloved leaders which shattered the dreams of a young generation whose loss of innocence symbolizes the 1960s. From a small village on the shores of Lake Michigan to the quaint and time forgotten villages of Old Mexico, this story will take readers on a journey surrounded by perfect love and heartbreaking beauty in a world that never promises happiness. Not A Dawn In Eastern Skies should be considered a novella or a very short novel with twenty-four short stories around a central theme. Speaking of his writing, poet and author Patrick Guinan has said, “I have tried to say a few things about love and life and to express these thoughts as simply and honestly as I know how.” In his mid sixties, Patrick Guinan is still a young writer who has found his voice and uses it to tell about love and what living does to it. Growing up in small towns in Michigan and Illinois, the father of two grown children, Guinan spent almost forty years teaching in Florida with brief stints as a politician and sports broadcaster. He now spends his time between his winter home in Bradenton, Florida, and his summer cottage by Northport Bay in the lovely woods of Northern Michigan where he learned about dreams and young love.
