A Life Broken (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798896755692)

A Life Broken is a powerful and haunting collection of narrative poetry that explores the deep personal trauma and aftermath of war. This work bridges the gap between the battlefield and the internal struggles that follow soldiers home, offering a raw and unfiltered look at trauma, resilience, and the cost of survival.

Drawing from both personal experiences and the experiences of comrades during his deployment, this collection captures the full spectrum of war's impact: the camaraderie and sacrifices shared by soldiers and the silent battles waged long after they have returned home. Each poem illuminates the often-overlooked emotional terrain of veterans' lives, inviting readers to bear witness to the struggles that too often remain overlooked.

Told in a style that blends the emotional depth of war poetry with the storytelling of a memoir in verse, A Life Broken moves beyond the battlefield to ask difficult questions about the price of war, the inadequacy of post-service care, and the desperate need for greater understanding of PTSD and veteran suicide.

This collection is not just a tribute to those who have served but a call to action--a plea for awareness and meaningful support. With its deeply human themes and striking language, A Life Broken offers a literary work that will resonate with readers of poetry, veterans' memoirs, and those seeking to understand the true cost of war.

A portion of the proceeds from this book will be donated to organizations supporting veterans, underscoring the urgency of its message and its commitment to making a tangible difference.
