This Open Eye: Seeing What We Do--Poems 2003-2005

by Reggie Marra

With a March 19, 2006 publication date that marks the third anniversary of the U.S. bombing of Baghdad, Reggie Marra's This Open Eye focuses unblinkingly on the impact of violence on civilians, soldiers and the human psyche. His images and insights indict both Augustinian and American arguments for "just war" and condemn the ongoing triumph of politics and power over principle and people in late 20th- and early 21st-century world leadership.
