      The Mississippi Truth

      Feb 2, 2022

      YOU’D think I might be embarrassed to write about truthfulness. And, if not embarrassed, I’d at least feel a little shameful. The truth is, where I come from, the clean-as-a-bone truth is never appreciated as much as a good story that provides an ext

      Commentary: I Was An Army Grunt At The Pointy End Of The American Spear. But No Longer

      Apr 5, 2019

      I'm one of the lucky ones. Leaving the madness of U.S. Army life with a modest pension and all of my limbs intact feels like a genuine escape. Both the Army and I knew it was time for me to go. I'd tired of carrying water for empire and they'd grown

      The Mind Reader

      Sep 10, 2022

      It happened so long ago you’d think I’d just forget it. But I haven’t, I can’t; it’s nested in my mind, coiled and twisted into my memory like a serpent I can’t get rid of. I remember it at odd moments: when I’m eating breakfast or riding the train t

      Don’t Mention The War

      Jun 29, 2023

      I RECENTLY PUBLISHED A BOOK WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS if anyone had read it. It was called The Phoney Victory, though quite a lot of the few people who bought it wrongly think it was called “The Phoney War”. I can only assume this is becau

      I decided to honor Martin Luther King Day this year by reading — and trying to absorb, more fully than ever before — the entirety (nearly 7,000 words) of the iconic speech he gave at Riverside Church a year to the day before his assassination. The sp
