Tracings

by Carolyn Howard-Johnson

Poetry

$12.00

TRACINGS RECEIVED THE MILITARY WRITERS SOCIETY OF AMERICA 2006 SILVER MEDAL FOR POETRY.

REVIEWS:

Carolyn Howard-Johnson is a natural talent honed to a bright polish by years of practice and exploration. "Tracings" is an example of her work at the height of her poetic expertise and passion. Poems like "Perfectly Flawed" start out with fiery word paintings and end up in a memory of childhood that moves us to our own memories -- the lovely ones scarred by reality -- but still lovely. Then there is "Earliest Remembered Sound" which also harkens back to childhood memories of World War II images, traumas and gallantry. And then there is "Mother in December" -- an ode to loss that is gradual and inevitable and all the more heartbreaking for it's seemingly endless duration.

This book is like gentle whiffs of Chanel #5 -- a perfect gift for mothers to give daughters, girlfriends to give other girlfriends, men to give lovers...poets to share with other poets. -- Joyce Faulkner, Author of In the Shadow of Suribachi, For Shrieking Out Loud and co-Author of Sunchon Tunnel Massacre Survivors.

Carolyn is a masterful and creative writer and this small collection of her poetry certainly proves that to be true beyond any doubts! There is a fire of feminine spiritual energy burning in her writings but also a powerful and steady hand of control that gives these poems a special kind of feeling. You too will notice that these simple poems are much more than what they appear to be.

This book receives the MWSA's top book rating of FIVE STARS! -- Bill McDonald, The American Author Association.

Vietnam in Verse: Poetry for Beer Drinkers

by Michael D. Mullins

Poetry, Vietnam

$10.95

I am Michael D. Mullins. I have written a book of poetry, telling my story when I was a grunt in Vietnam. I served there from March 1968 until March 1969. My unit was Delta Company, 3rd Battalion of the 7th Infantry in the 199th Light Infantry Brigade. Our motto was "Light, swift and accurate." It could have easily been "light, sweaty and persistent." We were mobile and proved it every day.

The stories I tell are about friends, vets I have met in various situations and my own experiences in the rice paddies of Southeast Asia. I continue to seek stories that inspire, concern, and delight me. They make me thoughtful, proud, and committed to their telling.

I have more to write and will continue to listen to the veterans I encounter on life’s road. There are 8.2 million of us, so I am sure I will not get to everyone, but to those from whom I have already learned and those in my future I offer my gratitude, my respect, and my thanks.

“Vietnam in Verse” was recently awarded the Gold Medal for poetry in 2007 from the Military Writers Society of America. 

REVIEWS

I had the privilege of hearing Mr. Mullins read some of his poetry last year. I am so happy to see that he finally published a book of poems. I WILL be buying copies for my friends and family who are vets. Thank you Mike for giving a voice to so many of our heroes that never made it home. - A. McQuiston

Mike's poems are rare gifts to us Vets, he gets it right down to the marrow of the bone with us! The biggest gift that Mike has been blessed with, is the ability to allow others who were not in Vietnam, to clearly understand his/our emotions as we went through our individual experiences in The Vietnam War. -- Thomas V. Gunn
Sgt USMC , 1965-1971, DaNang, South Vietnam 1970-1971
