Sinopsis

ALL MY HEROES ARE BROKEáis a poetry collection written from the perspective of a first generation American coming to terms with the implicit struggles and disillusionment of the &ldquo,American Dream.&rdquo, The first section takes place in New York, both implicitly and explicitly, and serves to introduce the speaker and reveal aspects of his family&rsquo,s history. The second section takes place in Florida, and continues to further exemplify the speaker&rsquo,s growing cynicism towards the circumstances of his life, and the peculiar atmosphere of solitude that it creates.áALL MY HEROES ARE BROKEáprimarily uses two forms: short, image driven poems inspired by the works of Robert Bly and Po Chu-I, and longer narrative poems that reveal more personal information about the speaker, in the manner of Li-Young Lee and Frank O&rsquo,Hara, allowing the speaker to project his own life onto the surroundings and the people of those larger communities.
