Some Months in 1968

During the course of his career, poet-writer Baron Wormser has investigated the hearts of many matters.

In Some Months in 1968, he portrays the Brownsons, a family of five living in suburban Baltimore, who experience one of the most tumultuous moments in American history.

Using elements of flash-fiction, biography, poetry, history and essay, he reaches into the immediacy of daily breakfasts and the minds of Lyndon Baines Johnson and Ho Chi Minh, into the consumer culture of the United States and the stirrings of political and spiritual conscience, into music and raw violence.

As a novel, Some Months in 1968, offers a vision of a society riven by conflicts.

The relevance of those months, as this remarkable novel makes plain, remains.
