      Masz wrażenie, że ta wojna toczy się między czystym dobrem a czystym złem? Myślisz, że ona się toczy w jakims konkretnym kraju? Iraku? Afganistanie? Syrii? Libii? Wydaje Ci się, że to naprawdę Brian Turner, żołnierz 3 Brygady patrzy przez lunetę na kobietę wieszającą pranie? Czy to Ty, ja i wszyscy inni? Poezja Turnera nawet nie stawia pytań, bo nie ma na to miejsca i czasu. Jest jak prosty meldunek. Tym razem to meldunek z pierwszej linii, dosłownie i w przenośni. Ta wojna się nie skończyła i nigdy się nie skończy. Poczytaj, może zrozumiesz. To nie jest proste mimo pozornie prostych wierszy. Radosław Wiśniewski
