Summary

That accidental agent of injury or death to one's own forces lends its name to Katrnia Roberts's third collection, capturing the disquieting mix of innocence and violence central to the work's exploration. Searching for sense in an often shattered world, the poems in "Friendly Fire" forge a place where intentions and consequences are called into question; where silence is indeed profound and must be honored with apology, forgiveness, and praise; and where- facing mortality- one might sing in celebration.
