description: Nye's work is about war; not the glory of war, not the political machinery of war, and not the national illusion of purpose and unity that war can sometimes bring. In these poems, Nye strips away all such rationalizations and exposes the whole visceral, gut-wrenching, grim and grisly business of dealing with death.
