Final Issues & Artists Series program to present Kenny Carnes' "Pieces of War"

Written largely in rhapsodic verse, this one-man show by Kenny Carnes delivers a rapid-fire cadence of rhyme and rhythm to weave a portfolio of stories from three generations of American heroes.

Carnes' "Pieces of War" will be March 25, at 7:30 p.m., in Hugh G. Heiland Theatre. It is the final event in the 2009-10 Issues & Artists Series.

Carnes will examine the violence of war as he captures the narratives of American soldiers from World War II, the Vietnam War and contemporary

conflicts.

A son returns home from Iraq. His grandfather recalls his victories at Normandy. Memories of September 11th. A father becomes lost in his voiceless shame trying to forget Vietnam.

Based on interviews, observations and personal experiences, "Pieces of War" seeks resolution through conflict, captures understanding through

contemplation and unites audiences in a common dialogue surrounding the universal journey of the hero in us all.

The audience is invited to march beside an "army of one," honor the fallen and heal the wounded as Carnes artfully confronts the violence of war.
