Description

Peter Skrzynecki is a poet and fiction writer of Polish-Ukrainian descent. His poems are largely poems of reflection and observation, but in the course of their 'meditations' on experience they touch on the special pathos of immigrant families as they come to terms with a new and very foreign country.

Immigrant Chronicle, a collection of his work, explores these themes with sensitivity and insight, drawing the reader into the emotional landscapes of those seeking to find their place in a new world.
