Hello, Boys!

In this wartime collection, the poet channels the raw emotions she encountered while living among the front‑line hospitals and camps of France.

The work blends patriotic pride with gentle humor, painting scenes of marching troops, bustling streets, and storm‑tossed vessels. Listeners will find a sincere, uplifting tribute to the human heart that perseveres through war’s darkest hours.
