Amazon Synopsis:

So very rarely is a book of poetry so page-turning that it, upon release, immediately becomes essential reading. The emotional rollercoaster that is “Damaged”, written by Jimmy Broccoli, whips you around on unstable rails, transporting you to a Poetic Wonderland that challenges the traditional, while embracing the unexplored.

It’s multi-colored, neon graffiti on darkened walls in dimly lit rooms. It’s hesitant confessions gently leaving the lips of the accused. It’s the unexpected invitation to the dance.

“Damaged” is exposed and vulnerable verse that whispers in bold type.

This is narrative poetic storytelling like you haven’t read before.

Welcome to the confessional poetic landscape of Jimmy Broccoli. Bring a flashlight.

Review:

"It's hard to be a friend to someone who's depressed, but it is one of the kindest, noblest, and best things you will ever do." -Stephen Fry At times writing a review is not a simple task. Especially when a book is so heartrendingly beautiful in all its glorious and raw nature. Damaged is a book of narrative poetic storytelling that bleeds with emotion from the deepest depths of the heart and soul. It is an experience of ones human existence; the experiences of life, love and loss. The journey in the darkness connects to the four elements of life; Earth, Air, Fire and Water. We walk it, we breathe it, we burn, and we drink it in as the pages are turned. It is a journey of the beautifully broken, rich with meaningful prose, and uplifting in the overcoming. Dark, gritty, and powerful! Truly captivating it has nestled into my heart and soul! I am Damaged. Grief... "It doesn't get better," I said. "The pain. The wounds scab over and you don't always feel like a knife is slashing through you. But when you least expect it, the pain flashes to remind you you'll never be the same."-Katie McGarry, Pushing the Limits  Goodreads Author Page:  https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/ Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/Jimmy-Broccoli/ Review Links: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/
