Soul of a Wolf - Poetry of a Veteran

by Villayat Snowmoon Wolf Sunkmanitu

Overview

"Raw emotions pour from Wolf's pen. His poetry moves me to anger, it makes me sad and it makes me bitter about the injustice that he and other veterans face. But the fact that he can bare his soul in this creative manner is genuinely uplifting. Stirring stuff." Lynette Pinchess - Nottingham Post - May 2013 Soul of a Wolf completes the eclectic Poetry of a Veteran trilogy, as the author shares some of his feelings about the constant struggle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, his views on life and how it affects him on a daily level. The poems portray the betrayal of Veterans by the System, alongside moments of hope, connections with nature and some romance with a sprinkling of humour. There's something for everyone within these pages. He also touches on issues of racism, religious and cultural tolerance and prompts us to examine the issues affecting our socities for ourselves.

About the Author

I started writing poetry in 1981, while serving with the Royal Air Force Police. It helped to release some of the tension that had built up during my two year tour in Northern Ireland (1983-1985). When I left the RAF I was not told about PTSD and no diagnosis was made on my discharge medical. No one, including myself knew that I had the condition. We weren't encouraged to talk about such things in those days and suffered in silence ... much like many of us do nowadays. After a six month break I served in the Metropolitan Police. My career in the civilian police was cut short after an incident involving an explosion in London which triggered a flashback to an incident in Belfast.
