A fine work that should not be ignored
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The second world war brought much change for many Americans, be they soldier or on the home front. "Tongue of War: From Pearl Harbor to Nagasaki" is a collection of poems from Tony Barnstone discussing the many elements of World War II with much emotion and perspective. "Tongues of War" is a fine work that should not be ignored. "White Bones": Mother was burned into white bones/while praying at our Buddhist altar./I can't recall her face, but some/days at the painted wooden post/that marks her grave I pray to mother./The post is silent and I go/home, leaving her some pretty flowers./I was just five. I don't remember.
