The Georgia Poetry Circuit, sponsored locally by the Georgia Review, will bring Brain Turner, a soldier-poet , to Athens for a reading at Cine. Turner's debut book of poems, Here, Bullet, a harrowing, beautiful first-person account of the Iraq war, won the 2005 Beatrice Hawley Award, TheNew York Times “Editor's Choice” selection, the 2006 Pen Center USA "Best in the West" award, and the 2007 Poets Prize, among others. Turner served seven years in the U.S. Army. This event is free and open to the public.
