(CHARLESTON, S.C.) - The 45 poems that compose KOREAN ECHOES draw the reader into piecing together a puzzle, with each poem presenting a small measure of the Korean War soldier's world, a world wholly embedded in the deepest design at the heart of human experience, embedded as if words were shrapnel, steel moments of clarity rendered from language and pounded into consciousness through Tom Sheehan's craftsmanship, each poem a sharpened moment of awareness of all humanity can be, do, and endure, and still love life and living.

KOREAN ECHOES, a poetic testament to the tenacity of the human spirit to survive the killing fields of war through time eternal, presents themes as well known to today's warrior as to the ancient warrior of The Iliad and The Odyssey: the battle to understand war, to achieve reconciliation, and to forgive the enemy and the self.

Among his many published books are Epic Cures (press 53), Brief Cases, Short Spans (press 53), A Collection of Friends (pocol press), and From the Quickening (pocol press). His work has been extensively anthologized and published in many print and online magazines, including more than 230 short stories, all Westerns, published by Rope and Wire Magazine. Tom's work has earned 15 Pushcart nominations, to include Noted Stories for 2007 and 2008, and a Georges Simenon Fiction Award.
