The Good Lieutenant literally starts with a bang as an operation led by Lieutenant Emma Fowler of the Twenty-seventh Infantry Battalion goes spectacularly wrong. Men are dead--one, a young Iraqi, by her hand. Others were soldiers in her platoon.
From this conflagration, The Good Lieutenant unspools backward in time as Fowler and her platoon are guided into disaster by suspicious informants and questionable intelligence.
"Whitney Terrell has written a deeply moving work of fiction to set beside Phil Klay's
Redeployment
and Kevin Powers's
The Yellow Birds
, with a singularity of vision uniquely its own." - Joyce Carol Oates
Terrell was an embedded reporter in Iraq during 2006 and 2010 and covered the war for the
Washington Post Magazine, Slate, and
NPR. His first novel,
The Huntsman, was a
New York Times Notable Book.

Brandon Dean Lamson, the 2016 Summer Poet in Residence at the University of Mississippi, signs
(University of Massachusetts Press, pb. 16.95)
Winner of the Juniper Prize for Poetry,
Starship Tahiti explores imprisoned bodies and the tension between captivity and imagination. Beginning on
Rikers Island, the book traces a creation myth in reverse, moving from prison to the spacious arches of Grand Central Station to the shores of the Chesapeake Bay. Themes of violence, race, and identity are explored in various real and imagined settings where inmates read
Antigone, Howlin' Wolf sings in a black barbershop, and Metallica records burn on a Viking altar.
Brandon Dean Lamson teaches literature and creative writing in the Honors College at the University of Houston.
