Here are poems filled with ammunition that penetrate not flesh but soul. Coleman's memories of Vietnam are not war stories--instead they capture moments when blackness is the battlefield. This is a book for careful readers." ----E. Ethelbert Miller, Director, African-American Resource Center, Howard University
