Book Description




In Love... &War


Book Description

This collection is the experience-the knowledge of those who have trained for, and more often than not engaged in war to bring it back to us so that we may indulge ourselves vicariously in war's brutal consequence. We should not diminish their valued contributions by referring to them simply as, warrior poets. Sure, they are that rare and ambiguous blend of strength and intellect, emotional connection and steadfast resolve, deserving of the title, but this is more specifically a collection of Poet-Warriors: individuals with the unique ability to deliver first hand the experience of war using the art of poetry. They are a great benefit to our society, our history, and the understanding of ourselves.




The Ghosts of Babylon


Book Description

The Ghosts of Babylon is as near to the crucible of war as you can get without wearing Kevlar and camouflage. Only a soldier poet lays bare the emotions of those who tasted life and death. These poems capture the essence of Jonathan Baxter's twelve deployments-brotherhood and bereavement, duty and disillusionment, heroism and horror.







On Assimilation


Book Description

"Some wars don't end, some scars don't heal and some bonds can't be broken. Former U.S. Army Ranger Medic, Leo Jenkins, picks up where he left off with his best selling book, "Lest We Forget" to explore the tribulations associated with attempting to reintegrate back into society after years at war. In what is being considered one of the most significant introspectives on veteran transition issues ever written, Jenkins lays it all on the line one more time with "On Assimilation, A Ranger's Return From War." --

What if you could suddenly see through everybody's skin to their organs? What if you knew the exact date of your death? What if your city was filled with doppelgangers of you? Forced to navigate these bizarre scenarios, Phillips' characters search for solutions to the problem of how to survive in an irrational, infinitely strange world"--

The Gun and the Scythe


Book Description

This booklet of poetry, written by former Army Ranger Luke Ryan, explores the nature of violence, war, and the contrast between evil and courage found on the battlefield. War is an eternal thing, as basic to human nature as eating food, as physical as sex, and as spiritual as prayer, and these are the ideas communicated here in a way that anyone can resonate with, veteran or not.
