When You Go Home Volume 2: A Collection of Modern Military Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798246667446)

Product Description

A powerful, unflinching and deeply human portrait of modern military life - told through the eyes of someone who lived it.

In When You Go Home Volume 2, Paul S Scott Shaw returns with a bold and emotionally resonant new collection of contemporary military poems. Drawing on 25 years of service, Shaw captures the realities of today's armed forces with honesty, grit and compassion - from the humour that keeps spirits alive to the shadows that linger long after the battlefield falls silent.

These poems explore the heartbeat of service:

• Camaraderie forged in pressure and danger

• The quiet moments of fear, pride and reflection

• The weight of remembrance and the cost of sacrifice

• The resilience, humour and humanity of those who serve

Shaw's writing is accessible, vivid and deeply authentic - offering civilians a rare window into the emotional world of modern soldiers, while giving veterans and families a voice that feels unmistakably true.

Whether you're connected to the military or simply drawn to powerful, real-world storytelling, this collection stands as a moving tribute to the men and women who carry the burden of service with courage and dignity.
