Jack Hitchner, in his new collection Like Snow Upon Green carves, through fiction and poetry the arc of a man's life: coming of age with a father scarred by the conflagration of World War II. Each one of these poems and stories sings in a different tone. From seven year-old Jennifer burying crushed Johnny jump-ups in a grave like her nana's, to an elderly vet searching for his name on an honor roll of the dead, the characters in Jack Hitchner's collection of stories and poems interpret for us the permeable layer between life and death. In "A Place for Waiting," Hitchner writes "Eben Sheldon understood the presence of empty windows." Hitchner's gift is to help us understand

that presence as well.
