1. Here, Bullet
A visceral collection of poems that chronicles a soldier’s experience in the Iraq War, offering stark, unflinching portraits of combat, wounded bodies, and the quiet, haunted moments between firefights. The voices are immediate and lyrical, blending brutal details of violence with tenderness, grief, and moral reckoning as the work examines how war reshapes memory, identity, and the bonds between those who fight. Through spare, muscular language the poems bear witness to loss and survival, confronting both the physical and psychological costs of conflict.
