The Broken and the Damned

Poetry. THE BROKEN AND THE DAMNED by popular American poet Jason Hardung is a harrowing journey through the dangerous underbelly of the American underground - where drug abuse, violence, death and jail are part of the everyday landscape. Written in an unflinching style that weds the modern idiom to the more reflexive voice of poetry, this book does not avoid the realities of life, but confronts them head-on in a way that does not forget what makes a poem a poem.
