Blue Collar Boy & Man

By Gary Broughman

The poetry collection Blue Collar includes 39 poems written since 2010 when Gary Broughman first visited the Uptown Poetry Slam at the Green Mill Jazz Club on Chicago's Northside. His poems reflect his dedication to living well and living boldly in a modern world designed to silence free spirits and original thinkers. Raised in the revolutionary 1960s, Mr. Broughman is accepted by those who know him as a thinker open to the ideas of those with whom he may disagree. He hopes readers see his poems as challenging conventions while remaining life affirming and hopeful for the future of humankind on our planet. He explores various subject from street life to romance, and his affinity to spiritual understanding. The poet was born in Detroit, Michigan, a true son of a working-class family. His blue-collar identity colors everything he does, including his mission as a writer and new thought spiritual teacher.
