“Hugely atmospheric and affecting . . . Masterfully controlling rhyme and rhythm, Sheers tunnels through the darkness to display the triumph of love and language over violence and silence.”
—The Independent
“Phenomenal . . . Timeless in its depiction of the pity of war . . . Extremely moving.”
—Esquire UK
“A beautifully crafted verse-drama of three young British soldiers before, during and after their Afghan tour . . . If, as one narrator says, ‘There’s a signature to every war,’ Sheers has drawn it here in its most vivid, complex, devastating colours.”
—Financial Times
“Pink Mist is a tremendous book. It feels huge, engulfing, devastating . . . [Sheers’] poetry is more powerful than any polemic. He does not stand on a soapbox. He prefers to show, not tell.”
—The Observer
