| Publisher Description: Discharged after nine months of trench fighting with day and night missile shelling, wounded twice as a machine gunner, Si Poltorak could not adjust to "Back Home" peace and quiet. Unlike many PTSD veterans who found escape in suicide or hard drugs, Si turned to creating poems. "My poems became my understanding friends - to share my struggle to overcome my suicide impulses and flashbacks of comrades wounded or killed." |
