Based on Turner's yearlong tour in Iraq as an infantry team leader, the poems offer gracefully rendered, unflinching description but, remarkably, leave the reader to draw conclusions or moral lessons. <em>Here, Bullet</em> is a must-read for anyone who cares about the war, regardless of political affiliation.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Brian Turner</b> earned an MFA from the University of Oregon and lived abroad in South Korea for a year before serving for seven years in the US Army.
