"Black bags grew beneath the eyes of the sons and daughters and wives of Crow. Their shoulders stooped, wrinkles enclosing their mouths like parentheses. Our fathers haunted us. They were everywhere.
--Benjamin Percy, “Refresh, Refresh”

A haunting tale of sons without fathers, and selections from "Operation Homecoming," in which American soldiers fighting in the Middle East recount their experiences in fiction, poems, memoirs, and letters.
