Afterthoughts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798986678900)

An Anthology of Rhode Island Veterans

Servicemen are often thanked, but seldom understood.

Afterthoughts is a multi-genre collection of fiction and poetry by Rhode Island Veterans that explores themes of comradery, service, disillusionment, and the duality of civilian-soldier identity.

The authors featured in these pages offer an unflinching look at the people behind the uniform, sharing not only their challenges and traumas, but their passions, joys, humor, and triumphs. You'll find intimate works about warfare and violence, but also works about hope, community, aggressive AIs, and fishing on Block Island with zombies. But most of all you'll find stories about the love and relationships worth fighting for.
