Former fighter pilot Keith Rosenkranz and poet Sam Hammill on this edition of Fresh Air. During the first Gulf War, Keith Rosenkranz flew thirty combat missions in his F-16. He wrote about the experience in his book, Vipers in the Storm: Diary of a Gulf War Fighter Pilot. In January, Sam Hamill was invited by First Lady Laura Bush to the White House for a symposium on poetry. Because of his opposition to the war it was not an invitation he welcomed. In response he created the Web site www.poetsagainstthewar.org inviting poets to submit their poems. Thousands of poets responded including Rita Dove, W.S. Merwin, Adrienne Rich, and Poet Laureate Billy Collins. When the White House heard about the site, the symposium was cancelled. A new anthology Poets Against The War collects 13,000 of these anti-war poems. Hammill helped edit it. Hammill is the author of 13 volumes of poetry and is a Buddhist, pacifist and an ex-Marine.
