My new essay, entitled "Bread Crumbs and Hatchet Marks," appears in the current issue of O-Dark-Thirty, the literary journal of the Veterans Writing Project--released just as Veterans Day is upon us. This essay explores the subtle ways my late son Francis found to express his pain and guilt following his deployments to Iraq and Afganistan.
