“Through artful poetry and prose, Mike Sharpe engages our hearts and hopes to experience the anguish and horror of a war that never should have happened. Sharpe’s humane voice invokes the bittersweet spirit of resistance to callous empire.”

— Chuck Collins, co-author of Economic Apartheid in America

“World War I produced great poetry of front-line suffering. Mike Sharpe captures for today’s Americans the Iraq horror in incandescent language. His is poetry of simplicity in words and depth in feeling. Today’s disturbing times need this poetry.”

— S. M. Miller, Director, Project on Inequality and Poverty,
Commonwealth Institute, and co-founder, United for a Fair Economy
