Poetry and Vietnam |
 | | Unfortunately, except for the efforts of American poets John Balaban, Yusef Komunyakka, Kevin Bowen, and Bruce Weigl, most of these poems are not available in translation. |
 | | Another professor was Bruce Weigl, whose 1967-1968 Army service in Vietnam sparked a number of collections such as Song of Napalm (1988), in which most of his war poems appear. |
 | | The title poem is a haunting testament to his wife as he confesses his inability to forget aspects of the war. |
