Breaking Contact

Breaking Contact is a collection of poems and observations reflective of the wins and losses that come with life during and after military service. Read the wistful hopes and haunting concerns of a young soldier on the front lines of the Korean War. Visit with a WWII veteran in hospice. Break bread with a Chaplain’s assistant on a forward operating base in Afghanistan. Listen to the wisdom of an infantryman coping with TBI. Mourn the tragic departure of a Marine. Sit with a community college Veterans Affairs Manager as he speaks about the encounters he has with veterans and their family members.
