Harp Song for Hiroshima is a work of prose and poetry. The poems introduce the reader to the voices of the people who died on that devastating day–August 6, 1945–when an American plane dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima and brought to an end to World War II. The suffering of those lives is eloquently remembered in the book, giving rise to a new understanding and compassion.

Together with the poems, there are prose passages of travel through contemporary Japan. The fallout of the atom bomb on Hiroshima is still with us. The message of the book is that nuclear weapons must never be used again if our civilization is to survive.
