Hi Judy!
I have heard this author mentioned in many books about
creative writing. It sounds great to me! I have requested it from
my library, and will scan it whenever it arrives. I am the fifth of
five holds on the one copy in my library system, so it could be a
while. Is that okay?
Peace,
Mayrie

Soldier's Heart: Reading Literature Through Peace and War at West
Point, by Elizabeth Samet.
Non-fiction. The Wall Street Journal just ran a very positive review on it.
Here's a short synopsis.
Elizabeth Samnet is a civilian who teaches English at the U.S. Army
military academy at West Point. In this book, she relates to the
reader the flavor of what it's like to teach a subject few would
think is relevant to future army officers: poetry, and
literature. She talks about her students, her military colleagues
who teach alongside her, and about how the students that keep in
touch with her develop and change as they advance in their military
careers. One of the reviewers at Amazon describes the book as "a
mini-memoir and mini-autobiography. Most of all it is a long
reflection on the relationship between literature and life,
literature and the military, [and] literature and war."
