An amazing poetry collection. She's Iranian-American and writes mostly about the atrocities of war, and the discrimination resulting afterward. I really loved the use of language, she took words from a "war dictionary" that the military gave new definitions, and then incorporated them into her poetry. She does a really good job connecting everyday life with war juxtaposing the two situations while incorporating feelings of maybe PTSD as well. Excellent poetry and important subjects covered. I loved it!
