Battle Dress by Karen Skolfield, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

“A terrific and sometimes terrifying collection—morally complex, rhythmic, tough-minded, and original." —Rosanna Warren, 2018 Barnard Women Poets Prize citationIn 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. | Battle Dress by Karen Skolfield, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
