Publisher's Summary
My Way With Words is reamed from decades of jotted thoughts and poems. Jotted thoughts are easily understood, but jotted poems I believe in my case deserves an explanation. Many of my poems were completed beginning to end with no changes between or very little editing and that includes a few longer poems.
Poems may follow a common theme or subject but mine do not. They were written with days or weeks or months between. Each was based on what was an immediate stimulant before my eyes. The exceptions were when something caught my eye that over time became a poem or found its own place within a poem.
Having written the previous paragraph I must mention an exception, war had major impact on my life. The last group of poems touches not so much on actual battles but on its impact on me and how I expressed it.
Why is there always an exception to what I write. There was a single experience that changed me. It was significant enough to inflict PTSD in me. That is expressed in the story, "Imagery of War—1967". It probably took me near two years to complete because I wanted every word to be true to the actual experience. I believe I was successful. It contains the good, bad and ugly of war. It should bring an understanding of the internal conflicts a soldier goes through.
Thank you,
Neal M. Warren
