  Frontlines and Lifelines -...

  Timothy Hodgetts

  This work captures personal experience of the Army's Surgeon General as a military doctor in crisis and war, spanning 30 years from Northern Ireland; through Kosovo to the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns; culminating in the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russo-Ukraine war.
  Poetry provides the ability to say what is otherwise difficult or unpalatable. Some of the poems are critical and challenging. Some are humorous, as dark humour is a well-recognised resilience tool of the soldier. All are observational—and all are grounded in the realities of crisis and conflict.
  It is likely you have read war poetry from the perspectives of the combat soldier: but this book is the alternative perspective of those who manage the consequences of war. The work exposes that saving lives in conflict, picking up the human pieces, takes a toll on the carers. Writing these poems has been a means for the author to sustain mental resilience and to cope with serial morally injurious events.

  "The most amazing trips are made are within an open heart! Intimate and universal, Love Talks is more than a poetry collection. Fall upon a caveat. A cue. A call to action. Harshada Pathare's vast verses honor existence and its lifeblood: honest interconnection—art, as formed by melding separate souls. Prepare for a pilgrimage. The terminus: unknown. Along the way, you'll wander hallowed halls and navigate nature's raw splendor. Cozy cafés, spattered studios, and delicious dreamscapes await. Take a moonlit promenade beneath a pantheistic sky that glints with possibility. Discover—rediscover—what it means to truly feel . . . Surrender to the sacred spell of love — 
  Like a messenger from gentler times, Harshada reminds readers to slow down, settle in, and drink of the sweetest enigmas. Dreamers, modern mavens, lovers — set aside a slate of time, and contemplate the timeless."
