About the book:
In 1969 William H. Clamurro was stationed in Vietnam as an unarmed A-1-0 combat medic. He captured his time there as poems in a small field notebook.
When he returned to the US he transcribed those poems on a cheap typewriter and hid them away in a box, where they have remained until now.
The Vietnam Typescript faithfully reproduces Clamurro’s original manuscript, complete with editing marks, and includes the author’s thoughts on the war and his experiences there.
The book is published by ESU's own Bluestem Press, scheduled to be released on April 5, 2018, and is now available for pre-order at www.emporia.edu/bluestem.
This event is free and open to the public.
Sponsored by the ESU Creative Writing Program and the Lyon County History Society
