For 15 years, National Humanities Medalist Maxine Hong Kingston has been working with veterans—soldiers from World War II, from Vietnam, and now, from Iraq—to convert the ghosts of war into the poetry, fiction, and nonfiction that Kingston believes will help them survive. In this program, Bill Moyers speaks with Kingston about her book Veterans of War, Veterans of Peace, an anthology called “powerful and finely written” by the Chicago Tribune. This timely work is the distilled wisdom of warriors and their loved ones expressing themselves with breathtaking artistry and truth. Broadcast date: May 25, 2007. (58 minutes)
