Palmer Hall (Editor) (Paperback - November 1997) ABOUT THE BOOKS: "Out of the wreckage of America's failed war in Vietnam, Palmer Hall has fashioned poems of quiet beauty and supple strength. There are no pretensions here, no posturing, but only the hard-earned wisdom of a gentle heart and a bedrock decency making it possible to believe that, in spite of everything, we still have reason to hope." W. D. Ehrhart "I can't say it better than a Vietnam combat vet responding to one of Palmer Hall's poems on the Internet: 'Outstanding! Just outstanding!'" Jonathan Shay "Palmer Hall's voice is as forthright and intimate as a first love affair or a last, lingering grief. His book's subject is the impact of Viet Nam on an American life, and his hope is that he can translate that jungle of painful images for the rest of us who were not there. There is nothing false or affected in these pages--only the undistorted news of the heart. From the Periphery is that haunting, that luminous. Charles Fishman
