by Christopher Brunt (Author)
A searing poetry collection exploring the war within families and the search for healing.
Christopher Brunt's debut delves into the pandemonium of a childhood home, the echoes of war, and the struggle for identity. Through surreal imagery and philosophical reflection, Brunt gives voice to artists grappling with desire, prophets lamenting collapse, and those caught between destruction and redemption. These poems confront domestic violence, family trauma, and the search for meaning in a world marked by loss.
War at Home is a powerful exploration of personal and collective wounds, offering a profane yet ecstatic vision of vulnerability and resilience. For readers of contemporary poetry seeking emotional depth and unflinching honesty.
