..".thoughtful recollections, scary memories, articulate
reflections, and the resolve of a man who has been
there."--"Publishers Weekly"
At age nineteen, Hugh Martin withdrew from college when his
National Guard unit was activated for a deployment to Iraq. After
training at Fort Bragg, Martin spent 2004 in Iraq as the driver of
his platoon sergeant's Humvee. He participated in hundreds of
missions including raids, conducting foot patrols, clearing routes
for IEDs, disposing of unexploded ordnance, and searching thousands
of Iraqi vehicles. These poems recount his time in basic training,
his preparation for Iraq, his experience withdrawing from school,
and ultimately, the final journey to Iraq and back home to
Ohio.
Hugh Martin holds an MFA from Arizona State University. He is a
Stegner Fellow at Stanford University.
