From the Land of Sidewalks and Lawns

By Tony Iovino

Tony Iovino, the founder and host of the acclaimed Summer Gazebo Readings, presents: From the Land of Sidewalks and Lawns, a warm, witty, deeply human debut poetry collection that shares the arc of a lifetime in suburbia.

Tony Iovino invites readers into the world that shaped him, from summer days as a child to family road trips and adult adventures. A small life, perhaps, but an interesting one.

Across three sections - Home & Family, Travel, and Philosophy - Iovino crafts poems that are honest, highly relatable, and rich with memory. His voice is earnest, funny, reflective, and deeply grounded in community. Whether writing about the people who raised him, the places he has wandered, or the questions that linger as life moves forward, his poems remind us of what endures: love, curiosity, wonder, and the stories we gather along the way.

Praised by Poet Laureates and fellow writers alike, From the Land of Sidewalks and Lawns is a heartfelt journey through the moments - small and epic - that shape who we become.
