Korean Echoes

by Tom Sheehan

Overview

Reading the 45 pieces of Korean Echoes draws the reader into piecing together a puzzle, each piece a small measure of the Korean War soldier's world, a world wholly embedded in the deepest design at the heart of human experience, embedded as if words were shrapnel, steel moments of clarity rendered from language and pounded into consciousness through Tom Sheehan's craftsmanship, each piece of his writing a sharpened moment of awareness stating all humanity can be, do, and endure, while continuing to love life and living, a testament to the tenacity of the human spirit to survive the killing fields of war through time eternal.
