Meet the Author: Take Your Time but Hurry Up by Vladimir Swirynsky

Celebrate Veteran’s Day by remembering an all-too-often overlooked war. Poet Vladimir Swyrinksy has set aside verse and taken up prose to tell the story of Robert Collins, a local veteran of the Korean conflict. Thirteen months may not seem like a long time, but see how time in a warzone can change a man’s whole life. Between the victory of World War II and the hard lessons of Vietnam, our memories of the Korean War threaten to yellow and fade—unless we take the time to stop and listen.
