What if the war doesn’t end when you come home?

MedEvac is a brutally honest, emotionally charged poetry collection that exposes what most people never say out loud—about trauma, addiction, faith, and the cost of surviving your own life.


Written with razor-sharp clarity and zero filter, Andrew Lafleche pulls readers into hospital rooms, late-night breakdowns, empty bottles, and moments of unbearable silence. These are not abstract reflections—these are lived experiences, stripped raw on the page.


At the heart of this collection is one question:


How do you keep going when everything in you wants to stop?


Inside, you’ll find poems that confront:


  • The psychological aftermath of war and PTSD
  • Addiction, relapse, and the fight for sobriety
  • Fatherhood, grief, and irreversible loss
  • Faith, doubt, and spiritual reckoning
  • The quiet, daily decision to survive


From a father facing the unthinkable, to a man battling himself in the dead hours of the night, MedEvac reads like a confession you weren’t meant to hear—but won’t be able to forget.


This is not feel-good poetry. This is truth under pressure.
