In the aftermath of best-selling Here, Bullet, Brian Turner deftly illuminates existence as both easily extinguishable and ultimately enduring. These prophetic, osmotic poems wage a daily battle for normalcy, seeking structure in the quotidian while grappling with the absence of forgetting.

From "Discotheque":
Late at night, Jackowski and I taped the flex-charge
to the gate. I unspooled the shock tube, removed the safety.
Hathaway radioed the countdown—and at zero—
I pulled the pin. It was me, Sgt. Turner,
who cracked the night open with explosives
and wrote it all down, word by word.
