'''Dan Guenther''' is a novelist who was a captain in the US Marine Corps and served in Vietnam from July, 1968 to March, 1970. His two novels, '''''China Wind''''' (Ivy, 1990), and '''''Dodge City Blues''''' (Redburn Press, 2007) , are based on his combat experiences as a Marine officer in Vietnam. Guenther is a graduate of Coe College, and also holds an MFA from the University of Iowa where he attended the Writers' Workshop. ''Dodge City Blues'' won the a Colorado Authors' League 2008 Harvey Award for excellence in specialty writing. ''China Wind'' was one of the lost books mentioned in the 2002 documentary film, '''''Stone Reader''''', by Mark Moskowitz, and is identified on The Neglected Books Page. Guenther appeared in the Moskowitz film and is a life-long friend of the film's subject, Dow Mossman, author of the coming-of-age novel, '''''The Stones of Summer''''', (Bobbs-Merrill, 1972). Mossman's book included poems and letters from Vietnam sent to him in 1968 by then Marine officer Dan Guenther. Guenther has also published poems in small magazines and anthologies, including the recent anthology, '''''Open Range: Poetry of the Reimagined West''''', (Ghost Road Press, 2007).
