Praise for Phantoms
Fortier's poetry - can I even call it that? - seems to do the impossible: transfer the experience of combat directly into our psyches. Phantoms is stunning. If you have never been in combat, you will understand something new and important. And if you have - well, you don't need to hear it from me. Just take a deep breath and open up the book... -Sebastian Junger
Praise for Phantoms
"The weight on your chest gets heavier as you read this brilliant, eloquent, brutal collection of war poetry." - Laura Hamlet
Praise for Phantoms
"Veteran-authors are gifted with stress-enhanced enlightenment. We tread the razors edge, build bonds forged under fire, then return home to discover a voice we never knew we had. To make sense of the ugly endeavors, and to help others understand the surreal, Ben Fortier leads you on a journey through the revelations of a modern day warrior-poet." -Scott Chapman (US Army Ranger, Author of "Written in Taliban")
