By: Slim, Birdland

"Broken hearted lullaby" is the latest book by Canadian poet Birdland Slim. This book is a combination of poetry of world events and present experiences and memories from the poets life. The world events include poems about the war in Ukraine and poems about the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, focusing on the sad events that the poet watched on television of the death and destruction. The book also includes many memories from the poets life he has not mentioned in earlier books focusing on the poet's childhood and the more recent experience of seeing his Grandson for the first time. The poet includes stories of past concerts attended with his son and the death of celebrity musicians including Ronnie Spector and Lisa-Marie Presley who both died on the poets birthday. The book also incudes photography by acclaimed Canadian photographer Jason Weedmark and photos taken by the poet.
