Aquila Polonica Publishing is bringing two of its authors to BookExpo and will be part of Poland’s country exhibit. Publisher Terry Tegnazian reports that John Guzlowski, who grew up in Chicago and is the author of Aquila Polonica’s newest book, Echoes of Tattered Tongues: Memory Unfolded, released in hardcover this month, and Julian Kulski, author of the and award-winning The Color of Courage—A Boy at War: The World War II Diary of Julian Kulski. Guzlowski lives in Virginia, and Kulski in Washington, D.C. Both are accomplished and experienced speakers, and we are interested in booking events while they are in Chicago. 

In addition, Tegnazian suggests that Aquila Polonica author Marek Zebrowski is prepared to offer library programs while he is in Chicago for BookExpo: “Paderewski as a Pianist, Composer, Philanthropist and Statesman (book tie-in: Paderewski in California), “Polish Music Center, USC—Its Activities and Role in Promoting Polish Culture Abroad” (tie-in: Polish Music Center book series, including Szymanowski, Szymanowska, Koffler and Stojowski), and “Polish Accents During Hollywood’s Golden Era—the Careers of Young, Kaper and Vars (tie-in: Polish Music Center Manuscript Archive Collection).

 If any libraries are interested in hosting an event, contact Aquila Polonica.
