Fire and Forget
This anthology of fiction by veteran writers features work by Gavin, as well as work by Phil Klay, David Abrams, Matt Gallagher, and others. These stories aren't pretty and they aren't for the faint of heart. They are realistic, haunting and shocking. And they are all unforgettable. Television reports, movies, newspapers and blogs about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have offered images of the fighting there. But this collection offers voices--powerful voices, telling the kind of truth that only fiction can offer. What makes the collection so remarkable is that all of these stories are written by those who were there, or waited for them at home. The anthology, which features a Foreword by National Book Award winner Colum McCann, includes the best voices of the wars' generation: Brian Turner, whose poem "Hurt Locker" was the movie's inspiration; Colby Buzzell, whose book My War resonates with countless veterans; Siobhan Fallon, whose book You Know When the Men Are Gone echoes the joy and pain of the spouses left behind; Matt Gallagher, whose book Kaboom captures the hilarity and horror of the modern military experience; and nine others. |

Brain vs. heart
Chris co-authored and illustrated this chapbook of poems with technologist and programmer Joseph Moon. You're in love. The problem is, you haven't told the girl, and your brain and your heart have different ideas about how to proceed. Brain vs. heart is a dialog between the brain and the heart of one man as he attempts to "make the move." Both indulgently prosaic and absurdly poetic, with plenty of in-jokes for computer nerds and literature nerds alike, this beautiful chapbook will make you laugh, cry, and/or hate the authors. |
