End Note

Even W. J. Dunmore’s hometown Corpus Christi has time-honored significance as his poems. The Gulf of Mexico’s coastal community had the biggest US naval air training center back in the 40s. Thus, we should let go of our thoughts for a while. Picturing Corpus without corpses back then is the ugliest lie anyone can tell. Such were the hostilities that went beyond borders – and into homes of smaller communities.

Seeing a woman dying in his toddler age, the unanswered question ‘Why?’ still haunts the author. Miraculously, things turn pleasant when life seems distorted by war sounds and distresses. A mother’s and grandma’s unconditional love instilled love, honesty, and compassion in Dunmore’s personality. Even the poems reflect unselfish love, compassion, and a will to sacrifice for others.
