Richard Bergeron

Where Did the Sunrise Go? Richard Bergeron 2nd edition

Rich Bergeron has a multiracial family and a deep sense of social justice, not only about race in America, but also caring for all our people, entering into just wars, and simply doing the right thing. He gave up a good career in the U. S. Navy because of the Vietnam War, yet sympathizes with the people who served in 'Nam. His poetry reflects all this. Originally published in 1984, his poetry often lays his soul bare for all to see. As Louis Alemayehu says in his forward: "Here he is toward the end of a very violent century, publishing a book of poetry in red, white, black, yellow, brown, blue and green; in fierceness and love; in flesh and spirit."
