Poems By Veterans......

This book tells the stories of veterans with direct experience of the military. For some, the intense experience of war can only be expressed in poetry, while others are driven by the need to say something openly political. It includes veterans from World War II, the Cold War, Vietnam War, peace time and the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The soldier-poets: Camillo “Mac” Bica, Richard Boes, Thomas Brinson, Michael Embrich, Michael Gillen, Marc Levy, Bob Lusk, Gerald McCarthy, Jim Murphy, Fred Nagel, Ron Thompson, Robert “Tack” Trostle, Jose Vasquez, Jay Wenk, Sam Weinreb, Dan Wilcox, Larry Winters and Dayl Wise.

“…Above all I am not concerned with poetry. My subject is War, and the pity of war, the poetry is in the pity." - Wilfred Owen
