Yahoo Finance Sam Brooks marks her debut in the literary limelight with the release of ‘Breakdown the Meltdown’
New poetry book reveals the thoughts and feelings of a young, ethnic woman navigating through life
LONDON, Nov. 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Raw, emotive and diverse, “Breakdown the Meltdown” (published by AuthorHouse) from debuting author Sam Brooks is a fascinating collection of deep and introspective poetry, told through the eyes of a young, ethnic woman who struggles with mental health issues.
This book is a retrospective look at the author’s life experiences as she goes through depressive states and tries to be authentic in a chaotic world. Each poem touches on a range of subjects personal to her, as well as collective themes and situations that many people may experience in their lives . Topics include platonic and intimate relationships, mental health, identity, existence, coronavirus and more.
“I believe this book will appeal to readers due to the different view point of what it is like being a young, black female growing up,” Brooks states. “Some readers may already have a stereotypical narrative of what it is like, but my hopes is to challenge and change that. Being a BAME female coping with depression is often a taboo topic.”
“Breakdown the Meltdown” aims to connect to readers — especially women around the world — who may be feeling like they cannot voice their opinions. It aims to empower those who are naturally introverted and show them how beneficial it is to speak out and open up. Lastly, it hopes to remind people to check on their friends, family or anyone that they are close to, and encourage and engage in active listening and empathy.
