Rediscover Justin Eggen's War Poetry with Pressure Plate Publishing House. Get ready to step outside the wire with the highly anticipated 2nd edition of "Outside The Wire Volume 1" by Justin Eggen. This collection of combat poems and short stories will take you on a journey through the eyes and experiences of a U.S. Marine in Afghanistan during the global war on terror. With new poems, rearranged stories, and expertly crafted writing, this volume is a must-have for any poetry or military enthusiast. (Description from 2017) Outside the Wire: A U.S. Marine's Collection of Combat Poems & Short Stories is a soul-searing collection of poems and stories from the front lines of Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Author Justin T. Eggen experienced two combat deployments in Afghanistan, Marjah 2010 and Sangin Valley 2011, fighting the Taliban (and occasionally the weather) with his brother warriors. Back from the front, he wrote this masterful description of the realities of war. Many of the poems are haiku, a form in which he shows great adeptness. Mixed in with the poems are three slice-of-life stories dealing with the everyday life of Marines incombat. This book is not to be missed.

A collection of poetry that explores the authors psyche going from Adolescence, to war, to returning home a lost and broken soul, and then championing life.I wanted to structure this book in four parts, White, Red, Black and Gold. Each one representing a time period in my life. Like chapters in a book, chapters in life are very real. I went from being homeless, living out of my 1992 Chevy Cavalier taking showers at the beach, to an NCO in the Marine Corps leading Marines in combat, to attempting suicide on my 23rd birthday, to writing and publishing a few books and starting my own business, to becoming a father and now living a beautiful life with my son and his mother. Life has chapters and each stage or chapter in life has lessons to be learned, and events need to be broken down and analyzed for ourselves. If we can see our failures, our successes, our rights, our wrongs and come to terms and face them, we will be better humans in doing so. TAOWP
