Editorial Reviews
Review

"Refreshing, updated, and unflinching... Memories of a Lost War sheds light on poetry written from btoh sides of the political spectrum...Chattarji's argument provides a fascinating opportunity to compare little-read prowar veteran poetry with aniwar poetry, which has enjoyed more critical acclaim. ...makes a substantial contribution to critical work on poetry of the Vietnam War era.--American Literature


Product Description
In this unique and significant addition to Vietnam studies, Memories of a Lost War analyzes the poems written by American veterans, protest poets, and Vietnamese, within political, aesthetic, and cultural contexts. Drawing on a wealth of material often published in small presses and journals, the book highlights the horrors of war and the continuing traumas of veterans in post-Vietnam America. In its inclusion of Vietnamese perspectives, the book marks a departure from earlier works that have largely concentrated on Vietnam as a war rather than a country.
