Our thanks to the Literary Review of Canada and reviewer Tomas Hachard for reviewing Benjamin Hertwig’s Juiceboxers in their April 2025 issue.
Hachard writes:
“Last November, Hertwig published an opinion piece in the Globe and Mail about the disconnect between Remembrance Day — the stories told at ceremonies, the poems read — and the disturbing reality of what he experienced while fighting. He described the way military uniforms transformed from “a source of comfort” as a child to “an extension of [his] own anger at the banal futility of the War on Terror.” In Juiceboxers, he vividly portrays this senselessness.”
