Synopsis
Pink Mist is a verse-drama about three young friends from Bristol who join the army and are deployed to the post 9/11 conflict in Afghanistan. Within a short space of time all three return to the women in their lives - a wife, a mother, a girlfriend - all of whom must now share the psychological and physical aftershocks of their service. Drawing upon interviews with soldiers and their families, Pink Mist illuminates the timeless human cost of war and its all too often devastating effect upon the young lives pulled into its orbit.

Review
Owen Sheers' breath-taking, unforgettable script focuses on the abused lives of three British soldiers with the humanity of a Wilfred Owen and brings the pity of the far Afghan war into our own mind's neighbourhood. (Dannie Abse)
Pink Mist is a tremendous book. It feels huge, engulfing, devastating, although only 87 pages long. When I finished it, what I felt most strongly was that it should be studied at school alongside the ubiquitous Wilfred Owen (Kate Kellaway The Observer 2013-06-02)
The war poet of our generation. (Independent)
The first important poem to come out of Britain's most recent Afghan war, there's more truth, more power to disturb, in Owen Sheers' Morte d'Arthur than in acres of media coverage. (PN Review)
Pink Mist is revealed as the most visceral of titles for this beautifully crafted verse-drama of three young British soldiers before, during and after their Afghan tour. Traumas leave minds, bodies and families shattered; if, as one narrator says, "There's a signature to every war," Sheers has drawn it here in its most vivid, complex, devastating colours. (Maria Crawford, Financial Times)
Book Description
Shortlisted for the BBC Audio Drama Awards 2013, Pink Mist displays all of Owen Sheers's virtuoso gifts for language and poetic drama.
