Love & War: Poems of an American Soldier is a collection of poems written by the American poet Anthony J. Sellars, set in the time before, during, and after his service in the U.S. Armed Forces. The collection encompasses over fourteen years of writing poetry. His poetry centers on the topics of love, life's struggle, family, the emotional effects of war, and the human need to reconnect and pursue God. The author writes from a patriotic heart that combines deep devotion, a love for the nation, and spiritual insight with the firsthand experiences of combat operations in Afghanistan and the emotional aftereffects of war on a soldier's psyche. Lessons and expressions from the heart vividly illustrate the possibility of finding one's pathway to hope through marital hills and valleys by communicating what is often difficult to say. A must read for people who are struggling in their marriages with the difficulties of a soldier returning home. It will help them to reconnect and reignite the flame of marriage, the living symbol of mankind's relationship with God. This deeply personal collection exposes the devotions of a person's soul and the journey to find his way back into the heart of his beloved, while also reconnecting to God and chasing one's own destiny.
