Stevens was a kid "from the suburbs," educated at the Citadel, who "read Hemingway (because I was a young white man in a war and that is what a young warrior white man must do)." ("I Left the Wire ")
There are poems here about IED explosions, suicide bombers, disfiguring and crippling injuries (on both sides), the heady excitement of a firefight, friends and comrades lost, both in the war and to suicide, and the confusion and depression that follow a combat deployment and the return to civilian life.
This is an extremely hard-hitting look at one man's war experience in Iraq, filled with grisly details, sometimes leavened with the black humor so necessary to survival and sanity. Very highly recommended.
