Oct. 3 Tip: Read the new book "Casualties" by Kirsten Clodfelter

Read the new book "Casualties" by Kirsten Clodfelter

(The October 3 Compassionate Living Tip from Interfaith Paths to Peace)

Southern Indiana resident and adjunct professor of English Kirsten Clodfelter's first chapbook, Casualties, is forthcoming from RopeWalk Press and is now available for pre-order.  The collection highlights the far-reaching impacts of global conflict, not only on those in combat but also on their families and the communities that are left behind in the wake of international devastation. Written from the perspective that the lasting tragedies of war aren't discriminating, award-winning author Pam Houston praised Clodfelter's work: "Intelligent, idiosyncratic and humane, Casualties beautifully reveals the often canted ways human beings cope with  fear and desire, while at the same time negotiating the surrealities (and realities) of contemporary warfare.” $1 from the sale of each book benefits the Wounded Warrior Project, a non-profit dedicated to the advocacy of post-9/11 combat veterans.
