Download or read book A Cold Coming written by Tony Harrison and published by Learning Links. This book was released on 1991 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written during the Gulf War for The Guardian, the title poem is Harrison's response to Ken Jarecke's potent photo of a charred Iraqi soldier on the road to Basra. As a poet Harrison doesn't fool around.... There's something about his working-class temperament that hasn't time nor patience for metaphor and the grand abstraction. A Cold Coming is delivered rapid-fire in ninety-two clipped, rhymed couplets that never wear on the ear, driving the piece with relentless wit, heartbreak and a sick humor that is probably the only sane way to deal with the enormity of the subject...Harrison is a major poet, a tough and tender-minded realist fully aware of his spiritual contradictions. -- Willamette Week. Harrison's poetry is fuelled by the strongest feeling and most exhilarating erudition, and attains a quite remarkable singularity. -- TLS.

Download or read book Equipment written by Anthony Aiello and published by . This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Anthony Aiello enlisted at age 17, he joined a peacetime Army basking in the last years of President Ronald Reagan's rebuilding of America's armed forces. The military intervention in Grenada had happened five years earlier and Vietnam had been fought by his father's generation. But within days of finishing his training in boot camp and as a rocket artilleryman and joining his new unit at Fort Bragg, Aiello was loading up his gear to take part in the December 1989 invasion of Panama. When the most powerful non-nuclear artillery system in the world wasn't needed to unseat the Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega, Aiello and his fellows breathed in relief, believing they'd literally dodged the bullet. Seven months later they were offloading their rocket launchers in Saudi Arabia as America readied itself for a series of Middle Eastern wars that continue to the present day. This is the story of a young man and his comrades in the Gulf War--and the battles that followed them home.

Book excerpt: This edited collection explores and develops representations of war experience from 1914 to the ongoing conflicts of the 21st century, through the specific lens of memory.
