Were You There? Vietnam Notes

Every bit as appropriate today as it was then Were You There? reflects a deep understanding of war, those who go to fight and their families. Everything in the author's memory of Vietnam comes alive in his poetry: times of fear and love, moments of realization, the landscape and the soldiers. Presented in sections, the poems and supporting illustrations take the reader to 'the place', shows 'the people', describes 'the job', 'things in our head' and looks in the 'duffel bag' for its humor. A tool of understanding and appreciation for those in harm's way, the author's reflections are healing.
