California Southern: writing from the road, 1992-2025 is the first collection of prose and poetry by longtime Los Angeles-based poet and journalist Adolfo Guzman-Lopez.

Guzman-Lopez writes about the head-swirling images and sounds at the U.S.-Mexico border crossing in Tijuana, as well as growing up Mexican and undocumented in blue-collar National City, and surf-city Pacific Beach, as well as the Los Angeles he's spent nearly 25 years reporting on for the NPR affiliate in L.A.

Join Guzman-Lopez as his writing takes the reader along the neighborhoods of Southern California seen through the lens of an immigrant, father, husband, son, poet, journalist, Mexican, and American.

Guzman-Lopez, Adolfo: - Adolfo Guzman-Lopez has been a reporter at LAist 89.3, the National Public Radio affiliate in Los Angeles, since 2000. He's been a poet even longer. In 1994 he co-founded the performance-poetry group The Taco Shop Poets in San Diego. The group toured nationwide for a decade. In the early 2000s he founded the Spine of Califas poetry series with Xiuy Velo and Willie Herron of Los Illegals. But to appreciate how the Mexicano-Chicano-American parts of him were hard to hold together, check out the 1990s Chicano true crime podcast he reported and hosted for LAist Studios, The Forgotten Revolutionary. It won a Golden Mic for 2022. Adolfo lives in Long Beach with his family.
