Dear SAGE Veterans and Friends:
After his plane crash landed in the North Sea during the Second World War, Edward Field recalls, “I hung on to the side of the raft and I said , Guys, squeeze together, let me on! But they were scared, because they could have capsized the raft, then all of them would have drowned, and it was winter….”
Edward Field is a prominent writer in LGBT literature. He lived through a harrowing event during WWll and wrote a poem about it in 1965 that is now part of the Library of America. Now, more than 50 years later, the poem is being produced as an animated short film and Field is the narrator. Join SAGEVets as we screen this amazing work of art and welcome Edward Field who will lead a discussion after the viewing.

Respectfully,
Ashton
