A Brilliant Poetic Voice (5/5 people found this helpful)
Brian Turner's 'Here, Bullet' ably demonstrates that Turner is the natural heir to Wilfred Owen. His wholly authentic, deeply compassionate poetry based in the world of modern conflict have the unmistakable ring of actuality, unsuprising since Turner is a serving soldier in the US forces. His use of language is rich, masterful and fluid, the tone calm and insightful. This is beautiful and lasting work; poetry of a type so seldom seen these days. I cannot recommend this book enough and have given copies as gifts to all my friends.
A superb collection.

Brilliant (3/3 people found this helpful)
One of the best and most moving books I have read for many years. The result of the experience of a serving member of the American Army in the Iraq war, these poems are beautiful and terrifying. I can't reccomend it highly enough.
