Explanation:

The poem "Facing It" by Yusef Komunyakaa is about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. "It" in the title likely refers to the memorial (as the speaker is at the memorial), life after the war (grappling with post - war existence), and the reality of the author’s experience (confronting his war - related memories and emotions). "The direction of Vietnam" is not a relevant interpretation of "It" here.

Answer:

• the memorial
• life after the war
• the reality of the author’s experience
