About the Book

During the terrible slaughter of World War I battles in France, the legendary Irish Guard always was among those leading the charge. Through devastating machine- gun fire, barrage bombing by big shells, and mustard gas, the Irish Guard took its casualties and drove on to the German trenches-and beyond. In the waist deep water and mud of the trenches, the freezing winter rains, and endless hail of exploding shells, the men of the Guard held their ground day and night. Walter Donway is a poet and novelist living in New York City and East Hampton. In this unusual play in verse, three young soldiers, men of the Irish Guard, stand in a trench at dawn awaiting the whistle signal to attack. As they wait, they discuss what soldiers of all times have discussed: the chances of survival, the plans of the generals, the reactions of the enemy. In the next scene, in a trench at night, after the attack, their discussion turns to the fate of Ireland at the hands of the English after the war. In the final scene, at dawn the next day, they lie wounded in a shack waiting to be saved or to die fighting. As they wait, their minds turn back to the Ireland of their youth and the Ireland once of their hopes.
About the Author: Walter Donway is a professional writer and editor who founded and edited the quarterly journal Cerebrum: The Dana Forum on Brain Science under the editorial eagle eye of the legendary language maven, William Safire. His work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Commonwealth, Iowa Review, The New Individualist, Cosmopolitan, Medical World News, Newsday and Occasional Review, to name a few. He is a contributor to Poet's House in New York City and a member of the East End Poets. He divides his time between New York City and East Hampton on Long Island. Other books by Walter Donway include four novels, two memoirs, a collection of shorts stories and personal essays, and two books on political economics and politics. His Amazon page is www.amazon.com/author/walterdonway. With thanks to friend and colleague, Donna F. Paris, contributing editor to "Savvy Street," for copy editing this book.
