Weigl may have written the best work to date about the Vietnam War, and along the way a dozen truly memorable poems.'' -Russell Banks 'Song of Napalm is one of the best books of any genre about the war-and about human endurance.'' -The Kansas City Star 'Weigl is a faithful witness to the reality of war, and his work takes its place alongside some of the strongest war poetry of this century.'' -The Hudson Review 'Reading these poems gives me a feeling close to awe at the resilience of the human body and heart. I can only compare Song of Napalm to the extraordinary poetry of Wilfred Owen and Robert Graves. I appreciate Bruce Weigl's poetry as a great gift.' -Larry Heinemann
