Haunting and amazing,
By "greenkara" (Charlottesville, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Archeology of the Circle: New and Selected Poems (Paperback)
Bruce Weigl writes on the line between life and death. This is beautiful, intense writing. Much of it deals with the Vietnam War, which serves as an avenue into his thinking about how to handle the experience of having been in the war and seen and done so many unforgiveable and unforgettable things. A beautiful collection.

Poems on war(s) and personal abuse,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Archeology of the Circle: New and Selected Poems (Paperback)
The collection is a good read despite it being a bit too personal and shocking at times. But, because I just finished writing a personal memoir on my years in foster care, I did not mind the honesty too much. Weigl even managed to have a very personal piece in this collection which touched (no pun intended) on a very similar incident that happened in my own young life and I wrote about in my book. Veterans should find the poems helpful in dealing with the hurt of war (s), while others can find strength in Weigl's honesty and survival.
