    Poems of suffering and peace from a nearly forgotten master. Hans Ehrenbaum-Degele was killed in action in July, 1915, 26 years of age. His partner and friends brought out his Das tausendste Regiment ("The Thousandth Regiment") posthumously in 1917. Whether or not his work has been ignored because he was Gay, it's time to bring his name forward and place it with the other great WW1 poets, where he has always belonged.

    "You ever meet those people, that seem to look not at you, as a person, but into your soul? Everything that you are, you've become, and you'll be. You don't know how to fix it, and they can see right through your fucking facade. I was terrified."

    Seemingly apathetic, Caden struggles to deal with daily issues - or really, just to care at all. Though with the appearance of a red haired delinquent, things might start to change.
