Abstract
Through the use of figurative language, these poems not only address, but also extrapolate from, the personal experience of being deployed to, fighting in, and returning from, modern warfare. A journey through the many voices of war's participants, from inanimate objects to mythical characters, this book is an aggregate of subjective and imaginative knowledge which displays itself in rhythmical and sound-based poetic techniques. Each poem sings a note in the chorus of the twenty-first century war on terrorism.
