Gordon Kuhn

Poetry and short stories. Fiction except for a true story about the shooting down of a U.S. Helicopter in Vietnam and how the surviving crew managed to escape being killed by the enemy

A man who had nieces that looked to him for guidance and safety. A man who washed his fiancé's hair at night and made her mother cups of tea. Yet, this very same man came home one night from murdering a woman whose wrist watch he had taken from her arm as she lie dying before him and he took that home and slipped it on his girl friend's arm telling her he had gotten it while bartering. A man who could hang a naked woman out off her balcony 12 stories up and ask the woman if she knew how to fly.

The Pelman family has a problem: murder. It matters not if you are family, friend, neighbor, employer, child or adult. This is a story filled with intrigue, murder, embezzlement, fraud, incest, psychosis, and confusion over identities. Toss in a giant mouse who runs around an apartment building urinating on tenant's laundry and two gypsy like characters that can only be seen and communicated with by one person, Marty Pelman, and you have a mystery which becomes a feast for the hungry readers.

Poetry in the raw. Poems about life, loves, drunkeness, death, and love. Poems based on personal experiences and lessons learned.

A book of poetry about life, love, death, suicide, and war.
