Sixty-three short stories and poems were published in the anthology, Never the Same Again: Life Service and Friendship in Liberia. Five of the authors have videoed their experiences and writings and I am honored to share the first one with you. Sit back and allow John to transport you from his hometown in Pennsylvania to his town in Liberia where he served as a Peace Corps volunteer from 1981 to 84. His words and message are so powerful…a poem to read again and again.

Hello Andrew, thank you for your reply. Many Americans living in Liberia struggled with the simplicity of life in that beautiful country, but after a time we began to appreciate it as John portrayed so beautifully in his poem. John has another powerful poem in the anthology and he and the other authors are honored to share our experiences with our readers.
