"I wept. These poems, this pain, has been transformed into beautiful tragedy."
-Gerald Arthur Moore, Flak Jacket
"Better still to have never been born;
Born again. How many births must one
Endure? How frequent becomings?"
-MedEvac
From award-winning author and veteran Andrew Lafleche, MedEvac is a raw and reflective poetry collection. It delves into the harrowing realities of combat in Afghanistan, the anguish of divorce, the loss of a child, and the destructive force of alcoholism. With brutal honesty and unflinching introspection, Lafleche captures the weight of grief and the search for meaning, both in life and in faith. In MedEvac, poetry becomes a vehicle for self-examination and spiritual reflection, making it a powerful read for veterans, their families, and anyone grappling with the complexities of trauma, faith, and resilience.
