Book excerpt: ESSENTIAL INSIGHTS INTO THE SECRET LIVES OF MILITARY FAMILIES! ... A PERFECT GIFT OF POETRY FOR MILITARY FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND VETERANS!In her electric second collection, Lisa Stice (author of the previously published "Uniform," Aldrich Press, 2016) lovingly interrogates and illuminates life in a military family.Together with her toddler daughter and little dog Seamus, she explores the in-betweens of separation and connection, and the quest for finding one's place in the world.With humor and grace, Stice's signature style frequently involves the borrowing of words from texts she finds readily at hand, including quotations from Sun Tzu's "The Art of War," and Dr. Seuss's "The Sneetches."In her new poems, the family¿s beloved Norwich Terrier also often appears as sentry, companion, and guide."Her close observations of childhood magic and household routines, quietly set against ever-present question-marks of war and displacement, are essential and timely insights into the modern military family experience," says the publisher."If you¿ve ever been a military kid, parent, or spouse¿regardless of age or era¿you¿ll find a welcome home in her words."
