Between the Heartbeats
This is a book of poems and short essays by nurses. It is not a book of poems about Vietnam, but several of the authors are Vietnam veterans. I include it because it is a remarkable book and almost all of the poems are of a very high quality. It is the first anthology by nurses. ow the editors are working on a sequel.

Memories Are Like Clouds
Set in East Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, in the 1950s, Memories Are Like Clouds is a touching childhood memoir of a sister and her brother, who died in Vietnam. This poignant baby-boom story, filled with memorable characters, is a fond remembrance of growing up in small-town America when life seemed simple.

A Saigon Party (And Other Vietnam War Short Stories)
[website]Short stories drawing on the author's experience with the USO in Vietnam. This book is great fun. The introduction is worth the price. Many of the stories are tongue-in-cheek but always with the uncomfortable recognition that sometimes she is kidding on the square. This is one of three fiction books I am aware of by women who were in Vietnam.
