Black Rose, Dying: A Collection Of Poetry

Black Rose, Dying is a book of dramatic and insightful poetry written by the warrior-poet Edward Val. Having served four combat tours between Iraq and Afghanistan Edward Val’s poems are inspired by the emotion and experience war brings about. The reflections revealed in this book of poetry span the four seasons as they express trapped feelings and hard-to-face truths. It is easy for soldiers who are exposed to so much devastation to view the world as a place of darkness, but moments of light penetrate briefly and powerfully, and that is what E'Val’s profound poetry is made of.
