Chiron Review #126: (Summer 2022)

Chiron Review #126 (summer 2022) is devoted to work by Vietnam vets. Andrew Gettler did much of the work of assembling the issue. There are poems, fiction, frank book reviews by experts. This issue amounts to a full report of the achievement of the Vietnam veteran poets active in the small presses, drawing on years of passionate involvement in that scene by Andrew Gettler. The poets represented form a community of individuals in touch with each other's work, not just a gang of logrollers. There is fine sensibility consistent throughout the book, that has to do with remaining faithful to some rather vivid early experiences while trying not to just moan on about blood and guts. This matter is discussed with taste and intelligence and experience in the book reviews. This issue would be an excellent teaching text for any course on the literature of the war, and richly deserves to be developed into a textbook.
