Whispers Behind Scorched Shields (Paperback)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Whispers Behind Scorched Shields: The Stories Firefighters Never Tell is a collection of clinical-realism verse about the lives, losses, humor, silence, and sacrifice carried behind the firehouse shield.The tones split the room before the coffee cools. A chair scrapes back. A fork is left beside a half-finished plate. Boots hit the floor. The bay doors rise. In seconds, ordinary people are moving toward someone else's worst day.Through thirty-three poems, Brian Edward McDermott writes from inside the gear - the hallway found by touch, the closed door that saved a child, the mayday that never quite stops echoing, the kitchen table where the meal waits under foil, the smell that follows long after the shower, the glove marks on a tired face, and the chair in the bay nobody moves because absence has its own weight.This is not a collection about fearless heroes. It is not polished myth, recruitment poster, or tribute written from a safe distance. These poems do not turn firefighters into statues or reduce the people they serve to tragedy. Instead, Whispers Behind Scorched Shields bears witness to neighbors meeting neighbors on the loudest days of their lives - house fires, highway wrecks, medical calls, false alarms, storms, smoke, water, silence, and the long ride back after everyone else believes the emergency is over.The shield is the object at the center of this volume: worn, scraped, blackened, heat-marked, and still carrying the promise. It belongs to the firefighter crawling a hallway by feel, the officer counting helmets in smoke, the rookie learning that courage is not the absence of fear, the veteran who knows which jokes are actually grief in uniform, and the family at home keeping a listening kind of sleep.Written with restraint, grit, and emotional precision, this collection honors the full world around the call: the station kitchen, the apparatus bay, the turnout rack, the child waving from a sidewalk, the spouse who hears sirens differently, the parent who checks the news before texting, the crew member who clears the scene but not the memory, and the empty space left by someone who should have come back.Whispers Behind Scorched Shields does not sensationalize fireground trauma or sentimentalize service. It looks carefully at what the work asks of the body, the mind, the family, and the soul. It holds both the gallows humor and the quiet damage, both the pride and the cost, both the call answered and the life interrupted.For firefighters, fire families, first responders, and the communities who only see the truck passing, this volume listens for what remains after the siren fades.The shield is scorched.The promise is not. Through gritty, visceral verse, this collection strips away the myth of the fearless hero to reveal the heavy toll of service, capturing the raw emotions and quiet scars carried by those who run toward the chaos.
