Poems Of The Vietnam War

A collection of poems by Vietnam War veterans.

An anthology of Vietnam War poetry, featuring the work of seventy-five poets.

Poems depicting life on the battlefield, the return to the United States, and adjustment to civilian life.

In this unique and significant addition to Vietnam studies, Memories of a Lost War analyzes the poems written by American veterans, protest poets, and Vietnamese, within political, aesthetic, and cultural contexts. Drawing on a wealth of material often published in small presses and journals, the book highlights the horrors of war and the continuing traumas of veterans in post-Vietnam America. In its inclusion of Vietnamese perspectives, the book marks a departure from earlier works that have largely concentrated on Vietnam as a war rather than a country.

A collection of poetry from Vietnamese and American poets about the different experiences each country went through during the Vietnam War.
