Former Marine Michael Miller, who did his tour of duty in Vietnam, juxtaposes his experiences in that conflict with the struggles of soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. In The Different War, Miller's fourth poetry collection, the voices of Marines convey with exceptional understatement the sounds of suffering, whether in combat or in recurring dreams of the maimed and the dying: "His eyes closing upon the charred remains / Of what had been his glory." Miller has written well of memories of war, if not his own then surely of imagined memories that could be true.
