In a poetic voice at once accessible and otherworldly, gutsy and insightful, U.S. Army veteran Karen Skolfield offers a rare glimpse of a female soldier’s training and mental conditioning. Through the narratives of a young soldier, her older counterpart, and her fellow soldiers, Skolfield searches for meaning in combat preparation, long-term trauma and the way war is embedded in our language and psyche.
Karen Skolfield is a U.S. Army veteran and former photojournalist. She is the author of two poetry collections, Battle Dress and Frost in the Low Areas, and teaches writing to engineers at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She lives in Massachusetts.
