Product Description
John’s written and spoken words are quiet but penetrating. The depth of his life experience can be seen and heard clearly as he shares it with us. His work includes poems which span many years of vivid images and feelings. He waited on the word and began to write after over twenty years in the military, including tours in Okinawa and Viet Nam. He writes about war in the most humane terms I have ever read.

Subtle Images of Feelings
John Harrell broke into the 'published poet's' world with his humanely biased view of the consequences of war.This work shows us the same kind of heartfelt images cast in cadences and phrases that are reminiscent of both Chinese and Japanese traditional poetry... pointed yet muted by thoughtfulness and fond memories.A calming breeze amidst the turmoil of the sensationalism too often found in contemporary poetry.

Poetry Veteran!
Someone, quite mistakenly, once asked me about John Harrell, saying "Isn't he the guy who writes all those pro-Vietnam war poems." It's amazing how people don't listen closely enough sometimes- it's a mad assumption that a writer would be "pro-war" simply for portrayingwar for what the terrifying travesty that it is, and for portrayingsoldiers in their writing as living people, instead of as the killingmachines we who protest violence would sometimes like to see them as. Harrell brings a wealth of humanity to his view of the Vietnam War-particularly in his book, "Twenty Years". Harrell's soldiers aretorn-up both emotionally and physically, scarred- in many cases,irreparably, from a horror they were ill-equipped to face. This is no idlesupposition of what war must have been like. Instead, it's based on thepoets on experiences as a medic during the war. For example, in"The Lieutenant," Harrell traces the path of a bullet through thefallen soldier's body, mapping it's path through every organ and majorbone. The gruesome description is then balanced by the flat image of thesoldier, lying in a hospital bed, being tossed a purple heart by anapathetic general. This is admirable work, worthy of close inspection. ... Read more

Excerpt: Empress Wang (, personal name unknown) (8 BC AD 23), formally Empress Xiaoping (), formally during her father Wang Mang's Xin Dynasty Duchess Dowager of Ding'an () then Princess Huanghuang () was an empress during Han Dynasty -- the very last of the Western Han Dynasty -- who was the daughter of the eventual usurper Wang Mang. Her husband was Emperor Ping. She is largely viewed by historians as a tragic figure, the victim of circumstances, who, in her young life, tried to maintain her loyalty to her husband of only a few years, but whose faithfulness meant that she eventually had to allow herself to die at the end of her father's reign. Empress Wang was born in 8 BC, to Wang Mang -- who had then resigned the powerful commander of armed forces position, which he held under his cousin Emperor Cheng and briefly under Emperor Cheng's successor and nephew Emperor Ai, to whom he was not related -- and his wife Lady Wang, the daughter of Wang Xian () the Marquess of Yichun. In her childhood, her father would several times fall in danger of the political climate of the times, due to hatred by Emperor Ai's grandmother Grand Empress Dowager Fu. However, in 1 BC, after Emperor Ai's death, Wang Mang's aunt Grand Empress Dowager Wang would seize power back from Emperor Ai's male favorite (and probable lover) Dong Xian and recall Wang Mang to serve as regent to her stepgrandson, the young Emperor Ping. Once Wang Mang became regent, he built a personality cult around himself, and was able to become very popular among the people. In 2, Wang Mang decide...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2565860 ...
