An excellent book!,

This review is from: Through Smoked Glass: Glimpses of a life before, during and after Vietnam (Paperback)
As a son of a Vietnam veteran, I can higly recoomend this book. It is very well done, easy to read and treats the war with a fresh perspective.Mr. Richardson's approach is unique, using well written verse to give insights into the life of a veteran from that era.

A dream, a memory, a rememberance --- comes to life,
By CLSJF (Ormond Beach, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Through Smoked Glass: Glimpses of a life before, during and after Vietnam (Paperback)
This author has the ability to draw the reader into his "space". Through his written words, one feels the pull..the draw to become a part of each poem, each dream, each memory and all tolled, it becomes a story within itself; each leading down a pathway where one has once walked. None speaks so loudly to me than "Lessons in the Earth" It brings to mind of a time once lived...a time now gone but forever etched in a readers heart. This small but profound collection is truly a gift from the author to all of his readers.....even the very brightest of a future will always be based on a never totally forgotten past.

In Poetry - Vietnam and A Life,
By F. William Broome, Published Poet (Dahlonega, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Through Smoked Glass: Glimpses of a life before, during and after Vietnam (Paperback)
This book should be owned and rwad by poets, veterans, and you. It presents the ignored story about a war we should have never fought. And, it provides some of the most heart-felt personal poetry ever written for public viewing. The author has given blood - that of a man who has fought and lived, and can now forgive those whose actions took away his youth, but gave him high values for a good life. Read it, and weep, read it and laugh, read it and wish that you could write as well.
