The poems in Once Upon a World War II delve into a childhood spent living and surviving World War II, starting with Native Lithuania and ending in arrival to America. Unlike parents, children for the most part looked at wartime with a perverse degree of normalcy. Yes, there was deprivation. However, there was an innate desire to make do, in spite of all that war brings with it.

"Each poem is like a poignant photograph ... With both tenderness and rage, Campe brings the reader into life as a refugee who still manages to find childhood joys hidden in his memories."

-Mark Fishbein, Chancellor of PGN Poetry Academy

"Not to be missed, this moving glimpse of a child's experience of life in the displaced persons camp at the end of WWII. We should be thankful that the poet has delved into his memory to share this with us"

-Bradley Strahan, former editor of Visions International

"In sharply observed European vignettes, he rewards the reader with narrative and contemplative poetic insights into a life most of us will hopefully never have to live through."

-Philip Wexler, author of Bozo's Obstacle
