Everywhere John looks he sees Murph. He flinches when cars drive past. His fingers clasp around the rifle he hasn't held for months. Wide-eyed strangers praise him as a hero but he can feel himself disappearing. Back home after a year in Iraq memories swarm around him: bodies burning in the crisp morning air. Sunlight falling through branches; bullets kicking up dust; ripples on a pond wavering like plucked strings. The promise he made to a young man's mother that her son would be brought home safely. With THE YELLOW BIRDS poet and veteran Kevin Powers has composed an unforgettable account of friendship and loss.
