Casey Clemens Anthology of Broken Pieces

Annotation

"Whoever said that You cant go back never contemplatedthe results of war. Its still an intrinsic part of my mental fabric. Often my nightmares carry me back to a place that I detest, aplace called Vietnam. It fractures my ego by wafting me alongthe gentle breeze that turns fantasy into horror. It slams me back into the jungles of my mind and once Imthere I cant seem to extricate myself from the bloody legacy ofthat brutal war. This book is a story that follows my strugglesthrough the mine-infested, ragged edge of fear. The bookcarries the reader into the places in my mind that mere wordscan never explain This book is an anthology of the rude andbrutal images as seen through the eyes of a naive, innocent 20year old, one who hadnt even tasted life yet. The book takes a look at what war was like as it evolvesfrom beauty into horror, into the blood-stained shadows ofthe vicious and mind altering images that once housed anindomitable spirit, fracturing my soul with war torn images ofVietnam. I sit here, glaring through the windows of sadness ata war I fought so many years ago, and it left me with way toomuch mental baggage"
