A cross between Alice in Wonderland and Apocalypse Now, Triggerfish 1-2 (the first novella) is a journey through the Central Highlands of consciousness.
"Benjamin White's Recon Trilogy +1 is a gut-dark and grinning fantasia of battle trauma, unpredictable and vigorously headlong. How vast the war within and innumerable the dead . . . and how noble White's mission of rescue."
Donald Morrill, author of Beaut and Awaiting Your Impossibilities
"In a quartet of poems that move from home to war, with stop-overs in Ancient Greece and Mexico, among other locales, Benjamin B. White has found the source of our stories, as he writes, 'The decisions we make, make us.' Whether dying for evac, or missing a leg (and the leg missing the man, in turn), or seeing El Dorado where it isn't, the protagonists of these poems endure their futility bravely; for bravery may indeed be hope despite the loss of hope. Sad, searing, and soulful, these tingling poems document the wartime battles of men victimized by war, soldiers all."
