War leaves marks. Peace leaves questions. Poetry makes sense of both.
This moving collection of poems by a Navy Persian Gulf veteran and Quaker peace activist traces one man’s journey from the decks of military operations to the quiet rooms where faith, memory, and healing take shape. Serving in Operation Desert Fox and Operation Joint Endeavor, he witnessed the complexity of conflict — and later devoted himself to the work of peace.
His poems explore the realities many veterans know too well: the weight of dog tags, the long waits in VA waiting rooms, the ghosts that rise during gasmask sunrises, and the spiritual wrestling captured in “Grappling with God.” Other pieces — like “Bibliophile,” “Poem = Peace,” and “Standing Tall” — celebrate the unexpected places where hope still grows.
Honest, lyrical, and deeply human, this book offers:

A veteran’s perspective on war, faith, and moral responsibility
A peace activist’s belief in compassion over conflict
A poet’s eye for detail, beauty, and truth

Whether you’re a veteran, a family member, or simply someone who values authentic storytelling, these poems invite you to sit with the hard questions — and discover the quiet strength that comes from facing them.
