Book Description:
|
Not since Kipling has anyone captured in verse the intensity, savagery and love of men under fire. In this work, new poet Stan Coerr, himself a combat veteran, pulls the reader into the deepest reaches of the human condition.
There is no greater calling and no higher honor for a man than to lay down his life for another. Men who fight do so for each other, and they end up closer than brothers. Stripped of comfort, they turn to one another, and inward, for strength.

Rubicon addresses with a literary heart our basest intincts of fear, passion and anger, and in the gentlest of forms shows us the harshest of truths. Its spare, powerful verse will sink into your soul.
