Book synopsis

Unaccustomed Mercy brings together in one volume many of the finest poets and finest poems to emerge from America's trial in Vietnam. The moral chaos of that war is here translated into the aesthetic order of art. Subject matter aside, this book contains works of true literature, poems born of passion and made good by skill, poems that will haunt the human spirit as long as art endures. This is a uniformly superb collection, the best I've come across.Unaccustomed Mercy will do for Vietnam poetry what Platoon did for Vietnam movies -- hit the senses with the force of a claymore.
