Adding his voice to the current debate about the US occupation of Iraq, in poems written in the tradition of such poets as Wilfred Owen, Yusef Komunyakaa (Dien Cai Dau), Bruce Weigl (Song of Napalm) and Alice James' own Doug Anderson (The Moon Reflected Fire), Iraqi war veteran Brian Turner writes power-fully affecting poetry of witness, exceptional овхоэ for its beauty, honesty, and skill Based on Turner's yearlong tour in Iraq as an infantry team leader, the poems offer gracefully rendered, unflinching description but, remarkably, leave the reader to draw conclusions or moral lessons Here, Bullet is a must-read for anyone who cares about the war, regardless of political affiliation Here, Bullet If a body is what you want, then here is bone and gristle and flesh Here is the clavicle-snapped wish, the aorta's opened valves, that leap thought makes at the synaptic gap Here is the adrenaline rush you crave, that inexorable flight, that insane puncture into heat and blood And I dare you to finish what you've started Because here, Bullet, here is where I complete the word you bring hissing through the air, here is where I moan the barrel's cold esophagus, triggering my tongue's explosives for the rifling I have inside of me, each twist of the round spun deeper, because here, Bullet, here is where the world ends, every time Brian Turner earned an MFA from the University of Oregon and lived abroad in South Korea for a year before serving for seven years in the US Army He was an infantry team leader for a year in Iraq beginning in November 2003 with the 3rd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division Prior to that, he was deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1999 with the 10th Mountain Division His poetry has been published in Poetry Daily, The Georgia Review, and other journals, and in the Voices in Wartime Anthology published in conjunction with the feature-length documentary film of the same name.  2005 г Мягкая обложка, 80 стр ISBN 1882295552.

This eleventh collection by Mark Strand is a toast to life’s transience and abiding beauty He begins with a group of light but haunting fables, populated by figures like the King, a tiny creature in ermine who has lost his desire to rule, and by the poet’s own alter ego, who recounts the fetching mystery of the title poem: “I sat on the porch having овхур a smoke / when out of the blue a man and a camel / happened by ” The poet has Arctic adventures and encounters with the bearded figure of Death; in his controlled tone, he creates his bold visions and shows us, like a magician, how they vanish in a blink Gradually, his fancies give way to powerful scenes of loss, as in “The Mirror,” where the face of a beautiful woman stares past him into a place I could only imagine as if just then I were stepping from the depths of the mirror into that white room, breathless and eager, only to discover too late that she is not there Man and Camel concludes with a small masterpiece of meditations crafted around the Seven Last Words of Christ Here, this secular poet finds resonance in the bedrock of Christ’s language, the actual words that have governed so many generations of thought and belief As always with Mark Strand, the discovery of meaning in the sound of language itself is an act of faith that enlightens us and carries us beyond the bounds of the rational.  2006 г Твердый переплет, 72 стр ISBN 0307262960.
