Reviews

"Ron Ben-Tovim's book is a penetrating inquiry into the poems of soldiers as seen through the mutually reinforcing lenses of trauma and disability studies. Particularly arresting is his idea of the poem as a prosthetic work of art that may enable the psychically wounded to make their arduous way back into social and political life. -- ""Dominick LaCapra, Cornell University"""
