Autorenporträt
Terry Tatum is a Stanford graduate, physician, and poet living in Middle America. As a youngster, he lost his father to the Vietnam War. This tragic event colored his life and the lives of his sisters and mother in many important ways. His own PTSD has inspired the themes of loss, wartime chaos, environmentalism, diversity, cultural reflection and criticism, childhood idealism, and restitution prevalent throughout his poetry. Terry hopes that others will be inspired by this book to reflect their own truth in kind and creative ways.
