About This Book

A compact sequence of lyrical poems responds to wartime upheaval by shifting between battlefield memory and the domestic lives left altered at home. Voices in the verses recall comradeship and loss while observing the practical and emotional work of those on the homefront, from volunteer efforts to quiet habits that signify endurance. Recurring images of landscape and everyday objects ground meditative reflections on departure, mourning, and the small consolations that sustain resilience, with a tone that balances sober remembrance and muted hope.
