Mothers Over Nangarhar

by Pamela Hart

Book Overview

In Mothers Over Nangarhar, a stunning poetry debut. Pamela Hart concentrates on the fears and psychological battles suffered by parents, lovers, and friends during a soldier's absence in wartime. Hart includes her own experience having a son overseas but does not let her own voice stand alone. She incorporates documentary poetry by way of lyric meditations, photography, news articles, support group meetings, oral histories, and classic literature to construct an unusual and powerful war narrative. Through reality and absurdity, Hart shows us how crucial the home front narrative is to the landscape of war poetry. Book jacket.
