Soldier's Death

With almost two dozen collections of poetry published in the United States and Europe, Sarah Patricia Condor-Fisher is one of the most prolific modern poets. She masterfully uses rhyme as well as free verse to capture perennial philosophical dilemmas of human existence: love, death and war, but also our relationship to animals and Nature. In this book, she portrays the stream of consciousness of a nameless soldier during his last moments on Earth: he has valiantly fought in a nameless war, was severely wounded, lost his nameless friend, and is now attempting to survive in a nameless hospital in Noland.
