Tigers and Songbirds is a book of poetry, not a textbook or a sermon. A response to combat in time of war, and to a lifetime of reclaiming the lost self, it is a work of surpassing honesty, clearly rendered sense, soul and beauty.

Wrought in battle but far exceeding the scope of war, it lays bare the warrior’s brutal initiation and transformation in the crucible of battle, and then the nightmare aftermath – the sudden and unceremonious drop back into “the world” – into a society that still has no rituals for reintegrating its weary, wounded warriors. The veterans of Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf and now, Iraq, had no mitigating transition
