My name is Geoff Le Pard. Once I was a lawyer; now I am a writer. I've published four books - Dead Flies and Sherry Trifle, My Father and Other Liars, Salisbury Square and Buster & Moo. In addition I have published three anthologies of short stories and a memoir of my mother. More will appear soon. I will try and continue to blog regularly at geofflepard.com about whatever takes my fancy. I hope it does yours too.
These are my thoughts and no one else is to blame. If you want to nab anything I post, please acknowledge where it came from.
I studied the War poets extensively in college. I realize today that at that time they were writing only 50 years earlier. I guess it would be the equivalent of my granddaughter reading about the Viet Nam War. It seemed so much further away at the time. I always resonated with the “Death of the Ball Turret Gunner” written by Randell Jarrell about the Second War.
