"Sea Story!" and Other Sketches: Memories and musings from a life of adventure Feature

The book is a collection of previously published stories, essays, rants, and musings by 'Skipper Al' Bell, whose adventurous life has given him a unique perspective on the world. The writings range from interesting accounts of real events to humorous lampoons and fiction. Some are inspiring, while others are ironic. The gentle reader may not agree with the author on some issues, in which case the reader is almost certainly wrong. His writings are part Mark Twain, part Jonathan Swift, and a large dose of Mad magazine. Some stories are serious and uplifting. Others reflect brooding depression. All are entertaining.

Memories of a Lost War: American Poetic Responses to the Vietnam War (Oxford English Monographs) Feature

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.
