The Woman and the War Baby --by Bill Ransom

 Nonfiction / poetry / memoir

160 pages

5 Stars

 

Perfection. Pure. Simple. Not one word too many, not word missing. Memories of childhood, or adulthood, of war, of peace. Images seared into your eyes, your brain, by the sheer beauty of a master wielding his pen.

 

Want to know what it feels like being in a war? Instructions on page 142. Or what four-wheel drive really is? Page 127. Love in a fish camp? Page 81. The beauty of dawn on Lake Kapowsin? Page 50. I won’t say these poems will answer all your questions on life, but these poems will give you a better understanding of what it means to be fully alive in the human form.
