“Snapshots Sent Home”: Book Presentation & Discussion

Join us for a book presentation and conversation with combat veteran and documentary photojournalist JT Blatty, who has recently published a compelling memoir “Snapshots Sent Home”. Like many post-9/11 combat veterans, JT Blatty struggled to regain her sense of purpose in the first years returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq. In 2018, a chance encounter brought her to Ukraine, drawn in by the familiarity of war and those who serve in wars. Over five years, JT captured the oral history and portraits of a tribe of revolutionaries, the Donbas volunteer soldiers. As she embedded with them on the front line in bunkers and forests, and in Kyiv flats, JT's story began to blend with theirs in a universal bond of combat veterans. The love of a soldier and an entire veteran community compelled her to stay as a new war began.
