Compare Letter Composed During A Lull In The Fighting by Kevin Powers, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

The award-winning author ofThe Yellow Birdsreturns with an extraordinary debut poetry collection. National Book Award finalist, 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 Fightingcaptures 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. Just asThe Yellow Birdswas hailed as the \"first literary masterpiece produced by the Iraq war,\" this collection will make its mark as a powerful, enduring work (Los Angeles Times). | Letter Composed During A Lull In The Fighting by Kevin Powers, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
