About This Book

A varied volume of poems that moves between narrated combat scenes and intimate meditations, pairing vivid accounts of conflict with quiet, elegiac reflections on lakes, forests, and nights under the stars. Recurring motifs of fire, water, and ruin frame explorations of memory, loss, and the moral weight of war, while other pieces dwell on seasonal change, spiritual longing, and the consolations of landscape. Formal variety—sonnets, songs, lyric fragments, and dramatic monologue—allows shifts from muscular reportage to reverent stillness, and occasional references to Indigenous presence and oral cadences enrich the collection’s engagement with place and remembrance.
