Inaugural Issue expanded and reprinted.

The first issue of Memoir (and) was so popular that we added more exciting content and reprinted it in January 2008. We think you’ll love the new pieces: “Obstinate Memory” by media critic Norman Solomon—excerpted from his memoir Made Love, Got War:Close Encounters With America’s Warfare State—and two poems by internationally known poet Ellen Bass, from her book of poetry, The Human Line, including “I Wake Thinking About Depleted Uranium.”
