Every poet in this anthology represents the terrible beauty that Vietnam engendered in sensitive hearts, the curious grace with which the human spirit can endow even the ugliest realities.
No one will get out of this volume without being hammered in the heart and singed in the soul.
I could touch the tears on page after page.
