encounter I had returned from the war in Viet Nam. To say that I
was confused and angry is an understatement. I was also somewhat

of poems by Denise Levertov that captured her journey to North Viet
Nam as a peace activist. This was the first serious "discussion" I
had read from and about "my" war. And true to what Robert Bly
considers effective political poetry, Levertov used the personal to
open up the universal. I was captured, and unlike my response to
military "service," I did not want to escape. Instead, I sought out
more of her work and other poets and, eventually, began to write my
own poems...."
