A novel-prose-poem from a American Combatant "Patrick Kosiewicz employs the popular form of interconnected stories to narrate his vision of the War in Iraq..... The strength of Kosiewicz’s vision is rare enough to warrant a close and careful reading; even more rare is his temperament of sensitivity and bravery. (He is a veteran of the war of which he writes.) Ultimately, Kosiewicz achieves much in this minimal, sand storm of a novel that conveys all that is eternal in one specific, contemporary conflict....." review in Gathering of the Tribes, by Susan Scutti





"Heavily muscled myth and scorching reality collide to explosive effect in Patrick Kosiewicz's HOW MANY SUNS BURN OVER BABEL WHERE POETS DIE.This is a fierce, no, ferocious book. If I were you, I would immediately read it."—Laird Hunt

"In the name of God the state of Hell on Earth has many players, many pallbearers, and a lasting, searing torment. Patrick Kosiewicz takes the soldier to the novel like no one you've ever read has been able to do. We start with burning books and never stop burning with a spirituous fire that consumes all in the path before her. This is our world, and we all have a hand in creating it, with or without our permission."—CAConrad
