In her stunning poetry debut, Pamela Hart concentrates on the fears and psychological battles suffered by parents, lovers, and friends during a soldier’s absence and return home, if indeed there’s a return.

Blending reality with absurdism and guided openly by a Calvino kind of logic, Hart reveals to us a crucial American point of view.

Hart describes her own experience of having a son overseas, incorporating lyric meditations, photography, news articles, support group meetings, family interviews, oral histories and classic literature to construct a documentary-style narrative very much situated in the now.
