Breakdown the Meltdown

'Breakdown the Meltdown', by inspiring new author Sam Brooks, is a fascinating collection of deep and introspective poetry, told through the eyes of a young, ethnic woman navigating her way through life. It serves as a recognition of and truce to her past haunts and memories, making way for the creation of new, happier memories in the future. Written from the perspective of an introverted, black female, battling depression, Sam discusses a range of subjects personal to her, as well as collective themes and situations that we all face. Topics include platonic and intimate relationships, mental health, themes of character definition, mental health, global events like Coronavirus, and yes, you guessed it - more mental health. Her words will touch your soul and thaw any cold heart.
