BILL SHIELDS OF YOUNGWOOD, PA. IS GOD


1440 Pear St. #17
Ann Arbor MI 48105


42pp.

Forty-two poems, thirty-four of which are entitled "ghost poem." The poet is seemingly haunted by the ghosts of Vietnam past. Morbid flashbacks, and visions of suicide comprise most of these poems. Redundant? Certainly. Bizarre? Perhaps. But nevertheless, real. Too real.--Diedre Wickers
