"These precise, plain-spoken poems are limned by a subtle music, not to mention a lyric grace that is never overplayed. For in a world as harsh as this one, a world delimited by war, beauty is as appalling as it is necessary. Hugh Martin's great achievement is to remind us of this necessity, and to assert the power of poetry as witness and as solace."-James Harms

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Thank you to all those who helped and supported me as I wrote these poems. Most of them were conceived in the quiet hills of New Concord, Ohio. Special thanks to Jane Varley, Meghan Wynne, and the entire English Department at Muskingum University. Articulating how these people have helped me as a person and as a writer is impossible. These poems would not exist without them. Thank you to Whitney Arnold, Meg Thompson, and Todd Warhola for their encouragement, friendship, and support. Thank you to Maggie Anderson, David Hassler, and the Wick family. These poems are dedicated to the men of Charlie Company, 1-107th Armor Battalion, who I deployed to Iraq with in 2004. Most of all, thank you to my parents, who have always encouraged me to write for as long as I can remember.
