Notes
P.W. Covington is a combat Veteran of the United States Air Force, having served both on the ground and in the air throughout Southwest Asia and East Africa.

This totally reformatted second printing of moving, sometimes intensely challenging, poetry is written by an American combat veteran with service in both Southwest Asia and East Africa. The writer explores not only his war-time experiences, but also the emotions and impressions encountered in re-joining everyday American society after combat service. This collection will bring insight to those with a family or friend that has served in combat in any of our Nation's "Desert" Wars, and will be equally insightful to those working as mental health care givers for issues such as PTSD and post-deployment depression. A service connected disabled Veteran, the writer fills every page with a unique and unflinching perspective on life, war, and the place of each of us in contemporary society. Includes special notes for the second printing and expanded content from the first edition.
