About the Book

This poetry cycle was written in a single calendar year. The author had just gone through two very chaotic years of life, including divorce, finding a new home, and figuring out how to start the next chapter of his life. The self-reflection within these poems includes thoughts about memory and the past, life, death, and what makes living worthwhile, as well as the common experiences that unite all people.

About the Author :
Michael Gurshtein was born in the Soviet Union and moved to the United States in 1995. This upheaval of everything in his life has left some marks. Through the constant companionship of books and theatre, he meanders through the hedge maze of human potential, a subject he finds endlessly fascinating. Today, Michael is mostly an actor, writer, and engineer.

Review :
"Michael Gurshtein's poetry collection We is a lyrical cry for us all to look within and a comforting testimony of finding home and peace within oneself. His poems are also a testament to the immigrant's experience of seeking a life that includes hope. The banality of daily events is given a divinity by Gurshtein as he encourages the reader to both seize the day (you could die that day) and practice gratitude for the richness of life and also the 'trivial things.' Throughout the collection he explores the dichotomy of inner and outer worlds-daring us to look within and find our salvation there. The motifs of time, family, foundations, and love appear throughout this vibrant collection as Gurshtein suggests that with a little '[blind stumbling]' we shall 'encounter all the fruit we seek.'"-Cristina A. Bejan, Green Horses on the Walls (Finishing Line Press, 2020) "It's amazing how two small letters-"w" and "e"-sitting side by side can hold so much meaning. The word "we" is used when a speaker refers to her/him/their self in consideration of togetherness with one or more other people. "We" is, therefore, a perfect title for Michael Gurshtein's beautiful new collection of poems, because it is a thoughtful and deeply felt reflection on how the parts of our selves fit together both singularly and collectively. These poems are filled with a search for personal truth and that search is made up of equal parts longing and gratitude. I felt and thought so many things while engaged with this book; more than anything, though, it felt like a celebratory meditation of what and who we are at any given moment in time."-Jeffrey Neuman, Playwright and Literary Events Coordinator
