Reviews
"Kevin Powers has produced a masterpiece of war literature and a classic."-- Hilary Mantel, London Times, "A powerful work of art....Put it way up on that high rare shelf alongside Ernest Hemingway and Tim O'Brien."-- Anthony Swofford, "Having enlisted at 17, Kevin Powers served as a US soldier in Iraq. Still young, and flamboyantly gifted, he has produced a masterpiece of war literature and a classic."--Hilary Mantel, London Times, "A powerful work of art....Put it way up on that high rare shelf alongside Ernest Hemingway and Tim O'Brien."--Anthony Swofford, Praise for The Yellow Birds "Extraordinary...A harrowing story about the friendship of two young men trying to stay alive on the battlefield...Brilliantly observed and deeply affecting." -- Michiko Kakutani, New York Times, "The author fought in Iraq with the US army, and then, many years later, this gorgeous novel emerged. Next to The Forever War by Dexter Filkins, it's the best thing I've read about the war in Iraq, and by far the best novel. Powers is a poet first, so the book is spare, incredibly precise, unimproveable."--Dave Eggers, Observer, Praise for The Yellow Birds "Extraordinary...A harrowing story about the friendship of two young men trying to stay alive on the battlefield...Brilliantly observed and deeply affecting." --Michiko Kakutani, New York Times, "Powers is a poet first, so The Yellow Birds is spare, incredibly precise, unimproveable."--Dave Eggers, Observer, "Kevin Powers has produced a masterpiece of war literature and a classic."--Hilary Mantel, London Times, "Powers is a poet first, so The Yellow Birds is spare, incredibly precise, unimproveable."-- Dave Eggers, Observer

Synopsis
The award-winning author of The Yellow Birds returns with an extraordinary debut poetry collection. National Book Award finalist, Iraq war veteran, novelist and poet Kevin Powers creates a deeply affecting portrait of a life shaped by war. Letter Composed During a Lull in the Fighting captures the many moments that comprise a soldier's life: driving down the Texas highway; waiting for the unknown in the dry Iraq heat; writing a love letter; listening to a mother recount her dreams. Written with evocative language and discernment, Powers's poetry strives to make sense of the war and its echoes through human experience. Just as The Yellow Birds was hailed as the "first literary masterpiece produced by the Iraq war," this collection will make its mark as a powerful, enduring work ( Los Angeles Times ).
