After Our War

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

A year it was of barbarities each heaped on the other like stones.
John Balaban discusses his Vietnam poems with ROBIN HOLMES.
As a conscientious objector working among the Vietnamese, JOHN BALABAN was able to see and record a subtle and complex civilisation unnoticed by the cameras. The programme includes readings of his own poems, his translations of traditional lyrics and his recordings of the Vietnamese singers themselves.
