Crushing Tin: Poetry and prose from a Deputy Sheriff

Number one best-selling author C. L. Swinney has been in law enforcement for over 20 years. Law enforcement members develop PTSD, have a sick sense of humor, and see things others can't imagine. Some drink or use drugs to cope, even go as far as taking their own lives. The poetry found within this collection is rough, sometimes unstructured, and may not suit all readers. However, it soundly portrays what it means to wear a badge and to serve and protect.
