Poetic Blessing

Bless you for printing some “poetry” in The Book Review--after thoses wisps and fragments of disjointed words and unrelated lines arranged in something like stanzas.

“Across the Sea” by the unidentified poet is great. It tells eloquently of the heartbreak of Vietnam and life and living . . . and death.

Thank you for printing it. I hope the author surfaces to take proper credit.
