Samantha Bresnahan, ”In the Blood, Flowers Bloom”
Update: 2020-05-12
Description
Samantha Bresnahan, a 2018 MFA graduate, reads a chapter from her book “In the Blood, Flowers Bloom,” which is currently seeking a publisher.
The story follows American and Japanese veterans of Iwo Jima during World War II and how the keepsakes that soldiers took from enemies kept the battle alive long after the fighting stopped. Bresnahan’s story concerns the trauma of war, but is ultimately about the necessity of reconciliation and forgiveness, no matter how long that takes.
Bresnahan is a senior writer and copy editor at CNN in the international features division, where she has worked for more than a decade.
