1 review
William Heyen

BOA Editions Ltd., 1997

I liked the notion of words being used to order intuition. It seemed particularly appropriate to the ...

Heynen has a deep knowledge of the historical facts which contributes to his understanding and compassion. Most of the short poems resemble tiny stories, quick pictures of imaginary and true events, ...

Ribbons : The Gulf War - A Poem
William Heyen

Time Being Books, 1991

In this past year of “our first war in the desert” and the “amnesiac parades” which numbed our national conscience, William Heyen kept writing how the war hurt.

These dark and brilliant Ribbons are, taken whole, the most ...
