Just months of boredom punctuated by fantastic and horrible moments that didn't seem to connect to one another.
Poetry offered a nearly perfect vehicle to explore those moments. Two months after [Brian] Turner returned home, he finished the award-winning "Here, Bullet." A second volume will be published this spring, and he is working on a third. (Watch Turner recite "Here, Bullet" below)
Poetry has long been the soldier's art, and on Veterans Day, it is worth remembering that leaders, and all of us, have a responsibility to listen.
