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 favorite activity, above all, is a long walk to nowhere, preferably through sleepy beachside towns.

Description: “Better still to have never been born; Born again. How many births must one Endure? How frequent becomings?”-MedEvacFrom award-winning author and veteran Andrew Lafleche, 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, making it a powerful read for those familiar with trauma.

Review quotes: “I wept. These poems, this pain, has been transformed into beautiful tragedy.”-Gerald Arthur Moore, Flak Jacket
