About
The award-winning author of The Yellow Birds returns with an extraordinary debut poetry collection.
Iraq war veteran, novelist and poet Kevin Powers creates a deeply affecting portrait of a life shaped by war. Letter Composed During a Lull in the Fighting captures the many moments that comprise a soldier's life: driving down the Texas highway; waiting for the unknown in the dry Iraq heat; writing a love letter; listening to a mother recount her dreams.
Written with evocative language and discernment, Powers's poetry strives to make sense of the war and its echoes through human experience.
