A poetry book by Benjamin Arthur Robinson
Score: 9/10
“Broke” is a powerful reflection on emotional, moral, and societal fracture — and the resilience that emerges from it. Robinson’s poems feel both contemporary and timeless, combining precision of form with philosophical depth.
From “Ancient Castle” to “Be Not” and “Another Hard-Hearted Soul,” the collection explores vulnerability, compassion, and perseverance in an age of fatigue. His empathy turns introspection into insight; his lyricism transforms pain into beauty.
There’s a reflective melancholy here, yet also a resolute hopefulness. Robinson writes with moral conviction and stylistic grace — every line reaching beyond despair toward understanding.
Verdict
“Broke” is a poetic meditation on survival and self-renewal. It captures the delicate balance between endurance and emotion, strength and sorrow.
Rating: ★★★★★★★★★☆ (9/10)
A quietly powerful collection of empathy, resilience, and rebirth.
