"Michael Day's memorable poetry and prose poems breathtakingly convey a combat veteran's journey through the emotional wreckage of war, wielding an arsenal of art with a fierce determination to survive despair and embrace life." - Jan Barry, author, "Life After War & Other Poems""Micheal Day is a Warrior; a man truly dedicated to the role and reality of Peace. This collection of writing is primal, heart-wrenching, and passionate.

His is a voice that is needed, and while it can at times be uncomfortable, it remains, nevertheless, vital." - P.W. Covington, author, "Vet to Vet: An Examination of PTSD through Writing"
