A MATTER OF CONSCIENCE

This Sunday – January 19th, on
National Public Radio
Everybody makes choices. Some of them matter for an hour, others for the rest of your life. For thousands of young people forty years ago, the choice was to go to war in Vietnam or accept the consequences of refusing.

Actor, Writer, Activist Writes about His Mother, Civil Rights, Vietnam,

This book by Wisconsin writer/actor/producer Coleman looks like a terrific late summer read.

Midwest Book Review says Spoke is a “weighty, evocative memoir … skillfully plotted … . Skillfully penned to be of equal interest to those who lived through and who were born after Vietnam. And a compelling witness to a definitive era, richly compounded in complexity by true-life family sorrow and triumph.”

The complete review is at www.spokesinthewheel.com

Every subject in the subtitle of this book —  A Mother. A Son. Civil Rights. Vietnam — are tops on my list of interests.

Published by Little Creek Press, Spoke is due out the end of August.

In addition to his other credits, Coleman is co-founder of PEDDLER CREEK. an arts organization offering writing workshops,  readings and theatrical productions.
