I just finished "Potawatomi Tracks" ... please, never stop writing poetry! You have a fantastic gift. Here is what I wrote to my friends:
As long as we keep sending soldiers out into the world to fight and die and suffer on our behalf we need poets and story tellers like Larry Mitchell to tell us the hard stories about what our actions are doing in the world. That is the other job of a good poet. "The Ballad of Vietnam" is such a poem and Larry Mitchell is such a poet.
