There is an intensity in her love letters that Lynn Marie Houston brings directly to us in this book of war poetry. Poem by poem, the story is told. She waits for his return. She writes. Can the bond of love, which is strong, last beyond a deployment in Afghanistan? There is much to be understood here, poem by poem. There is much to convey when a poet is unguarded.
