The boys at WBT always have something interesting to say. But I noticed a few weeks ago that they were publishing other people besides the veteran writers on the masthead. I was tickled to see Randy Brown (aka Charlie Sherpa, author of the collection of war haiku FOB Haiku) publish a great poem with WBT recently, and I highly recommend you check it out: New Poetry by Randy Brown – Wrath-Bearing Tree. Take note that they are looking for submissions across all genres of writing, so keep WBT on your radar.

For your Sunday enjoyment, and only a little because I appear to have a man-crush on Brian, check out the op-ed that ran two weeks ago in the New York Times. I’m not going to lie: it hit home for me, since it addresses those of us who have stayed in and continue to go to and return from war.
