A tight, clean copy with unmarked text (but for an address written on rear endpaper). Octavo, 132 pages. A debut poetry collection, drawn from his collaboration with Pulitzer Prizewinning war correspondent Paul Watson. The poems are based on interviews and correspondence between O'Brien and Watson, exploring the psychological toll of war reporting, trauma, and the ethical burden of witnessing violence. Dan O'Brien is an American playwright, poet, and librettist whose works often fuse documentary material with personal narrative. His plays include "The Body of an American" (2012), which was adapted from his relationship with Paul Watson and won the Horton Foote Prize, the Edward M. Kennedy Prize, and the PEN Center USA Award for Drama. In addition to War Reporter, O'Brien published two subsequent poetry collections that continue this exploration: "Scarsdale" (2014) and "New Life" (2015), both with Hanging Loose Prss. Paul Watson is a Canadian war correspondent and photojournalist who won the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography for his haunting photograph of a U.S. soldier's body being dragged through Mogadishu, Somalia. His memoir "Where War Lives" (2007) recounts his experiences covering conflicts in Somalia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, and beyond. Watson's reporting and moral struggles form the backbone of O'Brien's poetic engagement with war and witness.
