Marguerite Guzmán Bouvard

I think she does a marvelous job of bringing the statistics that I know to life with real stories, some hopeful but many heartbreaking. She brings a tremendous empathy to the stories of the vets and their families. Still, I think it ends as un uplifting read, with lots of stories of the volunteer groups that are helping vets as well as the famliy members and vets themselves.

What a wonderfully moving and powerful book/memoir. I know feel officially very sheepish that I have never read her books and will have to go out and buy them. She is a gifted writer and the range of her interests is amazingly wide. Perhaps not upbeat but uplifting.

A lovely collection of poems, some political, some nature, all thoughtful and thought-provoking.

Finished this up in my poem a day project. I loved the personal poems, some of the political did not move me as much, but they all have a beautiful quality.
