Born in Portadown, Northern Ireland, Marcus Silcock has made his home in such places as Turkey, Poland, Italy, South Korea, the United States, Spain, and the United Kingdom – experiences that inform his surreal-absurd stories.
Most wars are class wars. Send all the sons and daughters of American congress people and then maybe they will think a bit about putting greed before human life!!
Dani Sandal’s Anti-War poem kicks ass.
As Genesis says
Each war contains within it the seeds of a fresh war
Sodden plums and purple hearts. Finger painting of beet juice and bird feathers. Dog Tags are kicked into the skulls of fallen soldiers.Their skulls, the longest lasting fossil of discovery.
“Your breast laden with tarnished Purple Hearts and your mind heavy as sodden plum rotting in the jungle where you buried your own brothers’ bones and carefully kicked silver tags to split skull for the miracle of recovery.”
