LOSING MY BROTHERHOOD, the provocative first collection of poems from prolific British singer-songwriter Bobby Long, explores various universal themes, among them love, desire and disappointment with a healthy dose of memory and reflection. In his writing, Long lays bare a range of emotions while keeping his wry sense of humor intact. The volume is illustrated with 15 bold pen-and-ink drawings by artist Ben Edge.
Just like Bobby's song lyrics, these poems are so full of powerful emotion. I found myself in some of the texts and it really got to me at times.
I am looking forward to more of his writing. Bobby has got an old soul; his lyrics and texts are really poetic, up to a point where it almost breaks my heart.
Bobby writes with such emotion it's hard not to relate. He sees the world in such a different view, it's refreshing to see things from his perspective.
If you are captivated by his words then something is wrong with you.
