Synopsis

In the tradition of war poets of our time (e.g., Wilfred Owen, Bruce Weigl, Yusef Komunyakaa, and Brian Turner), "Art of War" is haunting, lyrical, and instructional. On the "Cosmic-Spectrum Green," Ron Self informs with researched feeling, "they say the human eye/can detect ten million separate colors./...Dying in Vietnam, all he could see/was green, cosmic-spectrum green." These poems provide the sights, sounds, and the (non-) sense of war alongside unflinching human truths. The soldiers' Biblical passages and green jungles give way to a widow's obsessive grief, a sergeant's grim humor, a child's imagination, and the numb amnesia of forgetfulness "that obscures the great lesson of history." The poems are omens and invocations, drawing our attention to war's grim reality through vivid hot kerosene detail and sonic trance.
