Poems from and American Soldier in Iraq
From back cover:
"Discover the elements of deployment and separation which involve many different things. The fear of going off to war is minimized by the thoughts of what has been left behind. In many cases, that includes children, families, uncertainty and the realization that simple things taken for granted are soon lost. Imagine not coming home. Imagine losing and finding your innermost self. Indulge your imagination and take a short walk and discover what it would feel like if you had to uproot yourself from your family, leaving for a year-long journey through an unknown place. You'll see things, hear things, discover the inner you that only exists in imaginative places. From being an immigrant to the U.S. to the deserts of Iraq, you'll see that Understanding Life and Love Through Hardship: My Journey Through Iraq is an exhilarating experience of one young man's discoveries. His journeys still continue today..."
