Monologues (The War Horse Sessions): What Poetry Taught Me About Moving Past War

This month on Things That Go Boom, we’re passing the mic to three veterans to share their memories in their words . In this first entry: When paratrooper Bill Glose came home from the Gulf War after leading his platoon, silence was his fortress. That all changed when a friend suggested he start writing poetry. The story is part of a new partnership with the news site The War Horse. The site publishes real stories from veterans that look war in the eye, rough edges and all. If you haven't heard of them, be sure to check them out . And tune in all month for more monologues. Additional Resources Silence Was My Father’s Fortress.
