Mastering the Art of Being Broken: A Lyric Memoir in Poems and Prose (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798234063489)

Mastering the Art of Being Broken is a deeply personal collection of poems and lyrical prose exploring grief, family, identity, and survival in the aftermath of loss.

Moving through five distinct sections-Inheritance, Fracture, Catastrophe, Reconstitution, and Continuance-the book traces one man's journey through childhood trauma, the silence of family rejection, the devastating loss of a brother to suicide, and the long, uneven path toward healing.

With unflinching honesty and quiet lyricism, these pieces examine what it means to live with what cannot be fixed-and how, in the process of breaking, we learn to endure, to feel, and ultimately, to become whole in a new way.

This is a book for anyone who has loved, lost, and wondered how to keep going.
