Every poet in this anthology represents the terrible beauty that Vietnam engendered in sensitive hearts, the curious grace with which the human spirit can endow even the ugliest realities."No one will get out of this volume without being hammered in the heart and singed in the soul. I could touch the tears on page after page."—Wallace Terry

Unaccustomed Mercy: Soldier-Poets of the Vietnam War
Though I do not read poetry frequently, as a Vietnam veteran I picked up this anthology of poetry by vets. Some of the poems bring back memories of my time in country. Many of the poems, in whole or in part, could be descriptive of war in any era. The one verse that, to me, is indicative of many veterans appears in "A Relative Thing" by W.D. Ehrhart:
"We are the ones you sent to fight a war
you did not know a thing about--
those of us that lived
have tired to tell you what went wrong.
Now you think you do not have to listen."
