It took several poems for this collection to click for me. I read a brief description before delving in, but even understanding the concept behind the terms taken from the Military supplemental dictionary, I wasn't quite connecting with the writing initially. I am not sure when it happened but suddenly everything fell into place for me & I was crying.
I began the collection again and I found that the usage of the terms was really moving to me. It took these terms that are used to remove humanity from acts of war and applied them to humans(stories) in a way that really made me feel a deep and profound impact of raw humanity. I really felt this collection was beautiful, & I was moved to tears several times.
