Nuclear Winter Is on Amazon
If you’re not already aware, I wrote a book of poems in the 80s called Nuclear Winter. This collection of poems is now available on Amazon!
Nuclear Winter is an attempt to think about the unthinkable consequences of a full blown, planetary nuclear war. In it, I explore the thoughts and lives of those who survive the initial devastation, where the cold of winter is hot with radiation and even the first snowfalls are ashen grey.
I started writing these poems in 1985-1986 after my son, Walter, died on active duty. I was grieving but didn't know it. I thought I was just talking about too many warheads and stalled SALT negotiations. A year or two later, I realized the poems were just a way of expressing grief.

“Dr. Mings’s message is without ambiguity.”
“These haunting passages by S. Daniel Mings starkly depict the horror of the nuclear catastrophe humans have built for themselves. These disturbing images are reality hopefully never realized.”
