 in The Daily Hampshire Gazette. Thanks to reviewer Steve Pfarrer for his thoughtful response to Perugia's latest release.
Here's an excerpt: 

"Abby E. Murray, the current poet laureate of Tacoma, Washington, writes from a unique perspective - that of a pacifist who's married to a soldier. Her work offers a rich portrait of a woman who is both a loving wife, one who must deal with her husband's deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and an independent thinker, someone not willing to conform to the expectation that a military spouse express unwavering patriotism."
