Paperback. Etat : Good. This award-winning debut collection is an expertly woven treatise on love, war, and politics, these poems reveal a pacifist's perspective during her husband's deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan and grapple with facing issues of infertility between tours.Abby E. Murray's debut HAIL AND FAREWEL is a bold examination of the intimate relationship between a soldier and a pacifist, bound together by choice. The collection reveals a wife's perspective during her husband's deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, including the whiplash of infertility experienced between tours. Inseparable by heart, their marriage is also built on disagreement. Military spouses are often expected to express absolute patriotism, and to conform to gender roles shaped by sexist, archaic ideals. But these poems don't aim to accuse; rather, they call for compassion and community in the face of isolation. Capable of inserting levity into the most dire of circumstances, the poet never lets the reader forget what is at stake. Murray tears the idealized from the real, illuminating the brutality of battle and loss--traumas we tend to avoid in both military and civilian life.
