This powerful new work by Bruce Weigl follows the celebrated poet
and Vietnam War veteran as he explores combat, survival, and PTSD
in brief prose vignettes. In compact, transcendent, and poetic
prose, Bruce Weigl chronicles somber observations on the present
day alongside painful memories of the war. Reflections on school
shootings and the lightning-fast spread of news in the 21st century
are set alongside elegies for forgotten soldiers and the lifelong
struggle of waiting for the trauma of war to fade. Haunting and
nuanced, Among Elms, in Ambush carries readers through meditations
and medications, past the shapes of figures in the dark rice fields
of Viet Nam and the milkweed pods in the frost-covered fields of
Ohio, toward a hard-won determination to survive.
