"In a quietly epic narrative - lashed-together from the author's life-experiences as husband and father, literary scholar, and U.S. Navy Reserve intelligence officer - Liam Corley's debut collection of poetry, Unwound: Poems from Enduring Wars, navigates with readers previously unseen frontiers in the Global War on Terror (GWOT). With care and precision, Corley's poems probe the dark, interior corners of American heroic ideals, marriage, family, and homecoming. In the collection's titular poem, for example, he delivers "a poem for the other soldiers / citizens who never fired back [...]" He writes: "[...] I see you with a yellow-ribbon wound tight around your chest, looking down when asked about the war [...]" For veterans, family members, and other citizens, Corley's collection provides a beacon of clear-eyed reflection and assessment about troubled times"--
