Where do we go when our war ends? How should we feel when we leave it? How can we love a place so much when it's come so close to taking our lives so many times?
Sangin, Then and Now is a stoic collection of poetry from a lifelong loyal subject of the commonwealth. The verses within tell the story of a young man following in the footsteps of his father as we accompany him on a journey to war and back.
It is a rationale for the dangers we face in staying in a toxic relationship with professions and landscapes trying to swallow us whole.
