NEWS RELEASE
YORKSHIRE PUBLISHING
***********************
Yorkshire Publishing is pleased to announce the release of MedEvac, written by veteran and award-winning author Andrew Lafleche.
"Born again. How many births must one
endure? How frequent becomings?"
-MedEvac
MedEvac is a raw and reflective poetry collection. It delves into the harrowing realities of combat in Afghanistan, the anguish of divorce, the loss of a child, and the destructive force of alcoholism. With brutal honesty and unflinching introspection, Lafleche captures the weight of grief and the search for meaning, both in life and in faith. In MedEvac, poetry becomes a vehicle for self-examination and spiritual reflection.
MedEvac is a must-read for veterans, their families, and anyone grappling with the complexities of trauma, faith, and resilience.
“I wept. These poems, this pain, has been transformed into beautiful tragedy.” — Gerald Arthur Moore, Flak Jacket
Andrew Lafleche is an award-winning poet and novelist from St. Catharines, Ont. He served under Operation Enduring Freedom during the Afghanistan War. Following his duty as an infantry soldier in the Canadian Armed Forces, Lafleche received an M.A. in Creative and Critical Writing from the University of Gloucestershire. His work has appeared in over one hundred publications across the globe. Beyond the written word, Andrew can fly single engine Cessna’s, drive anything 18-wheels down to two, rig a Catalina in the cool Northern Atlantic, and has engineered a 110-ft coast guard cutter up the Pacific. He’s been a firefighter, a locksmith, and a yoga teacher. He hunts, traps, and scuba dives, but his favourite activity above all is a long walk to nowhere, preferably through sleepy beachside towns.
