Never Such Innocence Again

By Jim McGarrah

Fear: He knew that he needed to be held. Part of his mind ordered him to bring someone close, stroke her hair, feel her heart and his beat together. Part of his mind recoiled with the fear of being touched, and this was the strongest, loudest, angriest, most hopeless part. The closer you bring someone to you, the farther you push them away. He had nothing to say. The physical power of words had been lost.
---------------------------------------
Jim McGarrah puts the metal to the heart of what it is to wrestle with the inevitable demons of being alive in a brutal landscape...visits his dead-parents, fallen soldiers, supposed foreign enemies-often to stand with them from a new distance, challenging memory and the grip of time."
