It is too simple to say that Matt Borczon knows the horrors of war. Many men and women carry battlefield scars on their bodies and in their souls. Matt holds the additional burden of the artist, condemned to search for meaning in a world shrunk to chaos and blood. It is as difficult to suggest the full power of his work as it is to forget the stories told in these spare poems. Borczon is a masterful poet and these poems will break your heart.
