“The day of the first moonwalk, my father’s college literature professor told his class, ‘Someday they’ll send a poet, and we’ll find out what it’s really like.’ Turner has sent back a dispatch from a place arguably more incomprehensible than the moon—the war in Iraq—and deserves our thanks…”

“Here, Bullet is a book of poems about the war in Iraq, written by a veteran whose eye for the telling detail is as strategic as it is poetic.”

An Iraq War veteran's poignant, spare poetry. Not the best poetry from a technical standpoint, but it's lyrical enough and it's important modern-poetry-of-witness enough that any technical weaknesses are more than made up for.
