Comments 3/20

"The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner" by Randall Jarrell

The short poem is really rather sad and brutal. The freezing man inside the bomber is killed by enemy fighters and anti-aircraft guns after just waking up from a dream about his moter and then washed out of his turret with a hose. Shocking stuff.

“The Holocaust Party” by Robin Hemley

The Holocaust was one of the worst moments in human history. No one really wants to think about everything that happened, but to simply forget about it would be even more horrible. Its like a car crash. It terrifies people out of their minds, yet they still want to learn more about it.
