A History of the Only War Author:Christopher Davis Of this book, Jeffery Skinner writes: "?A History of the Only War is a heartbreaking conflation of sex, death, and the divine. But it is not some postmodern parody?this is personal. And Davis means every word." Laura Mullen writes: "?In A History of the Only War, Christopher Davis has invited us into the science of the real, modeling for us th... more »ere an unflinching, embrace of the monstrous, difficult beauty all around us." Of this book D.A. Powell writes, "...Christopher Davis tackles the ode (owed) and the heroic couplet with the audacity and aplomb of the great Latin poets. He has the balls of Catullus. He has the lyric intensity of Virgil. And as Horace would have it, he allows the unrestrained speech of the chorus to give rise to a new kind of eloquence: little notes/like glass and nails/from fate?s exploding train."« less
