Greying Ghost Press
Chapbook #21
"Dan Boehl's "Les Miseres..." isn't simply another retelling of the recalcitrant history of war - that's been done a thousand times. Instead, scenes of war are run through a cinema reel and played out on a canvas of seventeen poems. Told through every point of view, "Les Miseres..." is an intelligent and thought-provoking broomstick thrown into the spoke of a war debate."

-
LA ROUE (The Helm)
But behind the rich, almost cinematic
certainties that history has given us
about the war, concerning the people,
the relationships, the materials, the
time frame, the technology, lies an
impenetrable area of shadow. No one
has ever explained how a con-
scientious public allowed this to happen,
or why.
