The article focuses on the collaboration between Irish poet Greg Delanty and war veteran Drew Cameron to produce poetry books from old military uniforms. After seeing an exhibit of the Combat Paper Project where paper, prints and broadsides made from military uniforms were displayed Delanty was instantly drawn to its beauty and decided to collaborate with project cofounder Cameron. Together, they were able to publish a collection of Delanty's poems, titled "The New Citizen Army," on a paper cut from the clothing of war.

An interview with Rachel Zucker, author of the collection of poems "Museum of Accidents," is presented. When asked what does his family think of being written about so frankly, she says she has the choice about whether to publish the poems, but she does not think she had the choice about whether to write them. She notes that with the poems, she felt the urgency and a real distrust in herself of artifice.
