Shadows of the Battlefield

Take a step into the emotions of combat in "Shadows of the Battlefield", a hard-hitting collection of poetry covering before, during, and after combat. In words on the page that are both honest and haunting, you feel the connection between the warrior, the battlefield, and those around them. 

Before combat the poems cover the frustration of not knowing what is next, understanding war before you have set foot on the battlefield, and the honesty of missing those left behind. Poetry that shows feeling and allows the reader to step into the shoes of the warrior before the war.

During combat takes you inside all of the chaos and conflict that is felt while immersed in a situation out of the warrior's control. Showing both grace and brutality these poems go over the moments that will live on in the mind forever. 

After combat when the real war begins you will read a vivid account of the change one goes through after war. These poems will show the devastation of the mind, body, and soul after combat. They will also go over the resilience we all have as humans, and you will read about the turmoil leading to triumph. 

The goal of this book is to meet the readers where they are and allow them to feel what they are meant to feel from each poem. No one has ever visited the same river twice so it is encouraged to read the poems multiple times possibly gaining something new from each time.
