It is important to acknowledge the thousands who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and to remember those who died as well as the grief endured by their loved ones. Honoring Specialist Noah Charles Pierce is a way of thanking all those young men and women who gave their lives for their country.

These poems and the story that surrounds them speak as eloquently as any of the great works of Remarque or Owen about the raw pain and immense cost of war. We owe it to Noah Charles Pierce and to the families of this war's many victims to take Noah's story into our hearts and dedicate ourselves to being better advocates for peace and greater supporters for the care that will be needed for years to come by those families who have borne the, too often untold, burden of these wars.

At the center of this collection of essays, letters, and articles are the vivid poems of Noah Charles Pierce, their heart and soul palpable on the page. American soldier in our Iraq War, he came home haunted by what that war had done to him. These poems help us meet a young man who was alert, kind, attentive, saddened, and in the end, courageously struggling against the odds to hold on. They are Noah's testament of life and for life.

In this moving collection, "SOUL ESTATES", the intense Czech poet, Jiri Jirasek, invites the reader to enter four different and deeply personal soul domains.
Part 1, Fawn Interludes, is a country of flowering meadows and whispering streams,
an ideal setting for the delicate awakening of the senses and the first flush of young passion.
In sharp contrast Part 2, Collateral Love, is a desolate habitat, a drab sweep of moorland, a place of solitary brooding and regret.
In Part 3, Subtle Fires, one could imagine a lush tropical island,
a playground for the unrestrained freedom of mature sexuality and complex passion, striving towards love.
Part 4, Soul Asymptotes, moves to another realm, the heights and depths of the soul in a cosmos of elusive meaning.
The key to understanding this last section is in its title!
An "asymptote" in math is a line or curve closely approaching another line,
but never touching it,
as the two lines stretch to infinity.
In the language of this poet, wisdom and love are soul asymptotes that never attain fulfillment.
