Brian Turner and Kevin Young
Introductions by Yusef Komunyakaa and David Lehman
A former soldier who served in the Iraq War, Brian Turner is the author of two collections: Here, Bullet and Phantom Noise.
“His poetic gifts [detonate] into a spray of lyric force that will mark what is possible in poetry for years to come,” wrote Carolyn Forché. “A chiseling of agony onto paper and a poignant cri de coeur to the republic of conscience.”
Kevin Young’s new book of poems is Ardency: A Chronicle of the Amistad Rebels. His “gift of storytelling and understanding of the music inherent in the oral tradition of language re-creates for us an inner history which is compelling and authentic and American,” wrote Lucille Clifton.
