Marguerite Bouvard – THE INVISIBLE WOUNDS OF WAR: COMING HOME FROM IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN
At Wellesley Books, 82 Central Street Wellesley, MA 02482
Presentation, Q & A, and book signing
This election season join us at Wellesley Books for a timely discussion by celebrated writer and former Regis College Professor of political science Marguerite Bouvard. Marguerite reads from her empathetic, non-political book on the anguish American soldiers and their families face when returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
ABOUT THE BOOK
INVISIBLE WOUNDS OF WAR brings to the foreground the damages of war and the effects on our soldier’s psyche. Issues of adequate health care, homelessness and grief only understood by fellow soldiers, will be discussed after Marguerite’s reading.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
For many years, Marguerite was a professor of political science at Regis College and a director of poetry workshops. She is multidisciplinary and has published 17 books, numerous articles in the fields of political science, psychology, literature and poetry. Both her poetry and essays have been widely anthologized. Marguerite has received fellowships at the Radcliffe Institute, the Wellesley College Center for Research on Women and from the Puffin Foundation.
In her incredibly empathetic manner, Marguerite has spent the past year interviewing more than 25 veterans and members of their families. She researched the health care they received, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and the suicide of the veterans.
