After twenty years in the U.S. Navy, Dubrow's husband came to the end of his tenure as an officer. \u003ci\u003eCivilians \u003c\/i\u003eaddresses what it means when someone who has been trained for war returns from the confining, restrictive space of a naval vessel. Set amid America's seemingly endless conflicts, Dubrow's poems confront pressing questions about the process of transitioning to a new reality as a noncombatant: What happens to the sailor removed from a world of uniforms and uniformity? How is his language changed? His geography? And what happens to a wife once physical and emotional distances are erased and she is reunited with her husband, a man made strange and foreign by his contact with war? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eCivilians \u003c\/i\u003eis a book both shadowed by and in conversation with the classics, including Ovid's \u003ci\u003eMetamorphoses, \u003c\/i\u003eHomer's \u003ci\u003eOdyssey, \u003c\/i\u003eEuripides's\u003ci\u003e The Trojan Women, \u003c\/i\u003e and Sophocles's \u003ci\u003ePhiloctetes\u003c\/i\u003e.
