Title: The Lacbird Poems
Description: this is a short collection of poems -- about the Vietnam conflict and all the terrible things involved. It is 'free verse' and intense; following events from the beginning of US involvement till the end of the war. The poems are very real and compelling, trying to present the war and those caught-up with events, in a honest way.  At end of the volume are lots of 'notes' to help explain the history, incidents, major figures and new 'slang' of the period. This book is not really to entertain, but engage the reader in an important modern conflict for the USA; which now relates to new conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan...
