“Ballad of the Bullet in My Grandpa’s Arm”

---

Fargo, 1942

“In the fall of 2023, my aunt found an old scrapbook filled with keepsakes of my grandpa’s time as an Allied soldier in Germany and France during WWII. These artifacts told me the stories he couldn’t and ultimately inspired my master’s thesis at the University of Houston’s Creative Writing Program (‘The Shape of Stars’).” —Stacy R. Nigliazzo
