Mainly autobiographical poetry about relationships: This was a time now decades gone, when I went into the Army. This meant vast isolation, vast frustration, and vast periods in which to feel and record. It factually starts with the age 20 me (who happened to be in South Vietnam in 1968), and runs through various leaves at home and my final year in the army. It includes my return home, and leaving again to find a job and resume my education at San Antonio College. But this poetry is not about facts; it is about feelings and relationships. I hope it expresses some common themes and experiences we all can remember.
