"Here, Bullet" is a harrowing, first-hand account of the Iraq War by a
soldier-poet. Iraq war veteran Brian Turner writes powerful poetry of
witness, exceptional for its beauty, honesty and skill. Like Keith
Douglas's poems from the North African desert in the Second World War,
Turner's testament from the present war in Iraq offers unflinchingly
accurate description but no moral judgement, leaving the reader to
draw any conclusions. Repetitive media reports show little of people's
daily experience of the five-year war. In "Here, Bullet" we see and
feel the devastatingly surreal reality of everyday life and death for
soldiers and civilians through the eyes of an eloquent writer who
served in the US Army for seven years, with a year's tour of duty in
Iraq as an infantry team leader.
