A son and grandson, Matt and Kaden, live in the Pacific Northwest. His poetry and short stories have appeared in Lyrical Iowa, The North American Review, Haiku Journal, Spillway, The Hawai’i Pacific Review, The Briarcliff Review, and numerous other journals.</span></span></p><p><br></p><p><span data-offset-key="5m7c7-0-0"><span data-text="true">A U.S. Army Veteran, Maulsby spent four and a half years on active duty. Enlisting as a private, he served two years as a Russian voice intercept operator rising to the rank of Specialist Fifth Class before attending Ft. Benning, Georgia’s Infantry Officer Candidate School. After graduation as a Second Lieutenant, he was accepted into the Military’s Intelligence branch. In 1968, he served with the 25th Infantry division while in Vietnam. Maulsby led a mobile electronic intelligence gathering platoon with elements established in firebases and Vietnamese villages in southwestern Vietnam. He received an honorable discharge in 1970.</span></span></p><p><br></p><p><span data-offset-key="ak79b-0-0"><span data-text="true">His first book of war poetry, Remembering Willie, and all the others won silver medal book awards from the Military Writers Society of America (2005) and the Branson Stars &amp; Stripes organization (2009). Maulsby’s second book of poetry Frissons, published in 2011, consists of traditional American-style haiku and senryu. Near Death/Near Life, a third book of poetry was released by Prolific Press in May of 1215. The book has since received a gold medal award from the Military Writers Society of America, named a finalist in the De Vinci Eye cover Art award, &nbsp;and was a winner-finalist in the USA Book News contest.</span></span></p><p><br></p><p><span data-offset-key="4pht6-0-0"><span data-text="true">Free Fire Zone, a book of linked poetry and short stories, was released in November of 2016 by Prolific Press, and has since been named an International Book Award finalist and received a silver medal award from the Military Writers Society of America.&nbsp;</span></span></p><p><br></p><p><span data-offset-key="6b5rj-0-0"><span data-text="true">In May 2004 his poem “6 June, Omaha Beach” was featured with a musical background on National Public Radio’s Themes &amp; Variations in memory of the Sixtieth Anniversary of the WW II Normandy landings. That same year he was named the Edgar Award winner of the Oak Hill Poetry Contest. His poem “Isle Royale Hunted” received a Pushcart Prize nomination in 2011. As of spring 2017, seventy of his poems have been individually published, forty percent of which have won awards, &nbsp;ranging from honorable mentions to first places. Out of twelve short stories published five have won awards.</span></span></p><p><br></p><p><span data-offset-key="6ihvm-0-0"><span data-text="true">Maulsby is a past President of the Iowa Poetry Association.

After returning from the Vietnam War, he channeled his war experiences into various creative outlets, ultimately pursuing writing poetry. He self-published his first book, Remembering Willy, and All the Others, and received silver medal awards from veteran’s associations. His latest book, Free Fire Zone is a collection of short military stories.</span></span></p><p><span data-offset-key="1ns5b-0-0"><span data-text="true">“A lot of men came back from Vietnam, and they dealt with their PTSD in a number of ways, usually women, drugs or creativity,” he says. “I chose creativity.”</span></span></p><p><span data-offset-key="42hdp-0-0"><span data-text="true">During this hour of Talk of Iowa, host Charity Nebbe talks with Maulsby about his writing and his new book of connected short stories.</span></span></p><p><span data-offset-key="aiqt6-0-0"><span data-text="true">http://iowapublicradio.org/post/wounds-war-and-poetry-using-creativity-heal#stream/0</span></span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p> 2019-04-17 19:00:00 -0500
