    Yusef Komunyakaa

    Warhorses: Poems (Farrar, Straus & Giroux) The extraordinary part of this interview is the opportunity to hear Komunyakaa's voice as he reads his poetry. These poems are about love and war simultaneously, traumatic upheavals that may often be conjoined in this poet's vision of life.
