AS YOU WERE: THE MILITARY REVIEW, Vol. 16 Released

MEA is proud to announce the release of As You Were: The Military Review, Vol. 16. This edition contains nearly thirty works in literary fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and artwork.

The writers, artists, and poets represented in this volume span the full spectrum of those impacted by military service – combat veterans, family members, or citizens who’ve felt the pull of history. They’ve all contributed fine additions to the literary and artistic canon surrounding military service.

Their work examines age-old questions and unravels new threads of thought. How have combat veterans of the Global War on Terror transitioned into parenting roles? What happens when romance is found while recovering from physical war wounds in a military hospital? What was it like for a little girl whose father returned from Vietnam a changed man? What was it like for a girl whose father did not come home from Vietnam at all? How did the US military’s policy of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” affect LGTBQ+ service members?

By exploring the works in this volume, readers will learn about some of these realities. Perhaps they will gain deeper understandings of the human condition generally, or as it pertains to military service specifically. Maybe a conversation will be struck up that wouldn’t have occurred before. And we can hope that it may inspire others to add their own voices to a robust conversation playing out in literature and the arts.

We’re glad to have the opportunity to share As You Were: The Military Review, Vol. 16 with you, whatever its impact may be.
