Stories for Veterans Day

In honor of Veterans Day, Kore Press released an anthology today that collects the stories and poetry of 19 women who served in the U.S. military.

Entitled Powder: Writing by Women in the Ranks, from Vietnam to Iraq, the collection includes material from women who fought in the major battlefields of the last 40 years–including Somalia and Operation Desert Shield. The collection has both a book blog and a book trailer. Take a break and remember the men and women who fought for our country.

From the release: “The 40 poems and personal essays collected in this volume are inspired by a photo album of the enemy dead; heat exhaustion on an afternoon in Mosul; a first jump from an airplane; fending off advances from Iraqi men; an attempted rape by a Navy SEAL; interrogating suspected terrorists; contemplation of suicide; and a spiritual meditation on preparing the bodies of fallen comrades for burial.”
