In War the Creator, Gelett Burgess, an esteemed American writer, unveils a poignant narrative about the transformative impact of war on a young Frenchman he once called a friend. “Because he was my friend, because he was so lovable, because he suffered much, I want to try to tell the story of a boy who, in two months, became a man. I first encountered him just before the war began, and upon seeing him again after he had been wounded, the change was so profound that I could not rest until I uncovered the story behind his metamorphosis.” – From War the Creator (Lee Smalley)

His collection of poems offers amusing insights into the many ways thoughtless or unkind behavior can offend polite society, while also inspiring readers to aspire to better conduct.
