Publisher Marketing: Gerry McFarland's collection of nineteen intimate poems lyrically reflect on his years as a young Navy Gunner on board the USS King at the Gulf of Tonkin during the Vietnam War. These poems illustrate Gunner's internal battle to adjust to not only a foreign country, but the incongruities of war, his longing for love and home, as well as the new and sometimes brutal realities and relationships that will echo into his future. We see Gunner play out a balancing act between reluctant sailor, manhood and human being.
