Fragments of Us
In Fragments of Us, the poet weaves a delicate story of love, loss, and the quiet strength it takes to move forward. Through a series of raw, evocative poems, this collection delves into the emotional aftermath of a broken relationship, exploring the deep ache of separation and the bittersweet memories that linger long after. With themes of heartache, healing, and personal growth, each poem serves as a snapshot of the emotional landscape we navigate when love slips away.
Tender yet powerful, Fragments of Us speaks to anyone who has ever had to pick up the pieces of a broken heart and rediscover themselves in the process. It's a journey through grief, resilience, and ultimately, the beauty that comes from learning to let go and embrace the hope of new beginnings.

"I don't know what tomorrow will bring
I can only hope it will be better than today."
As a poet, Brittany Benko is equal to the best modern poets of today. She has a pure style which shines in her previous books, Poetic Poetry and The Guiding Light. Her latest book, Fragments of Us, is unlike her usual style yet still evokes many emotions in the reading.
Brittany has suffered heartbreak in her life and in this poetry collection it comes across quite clearly. She is never maudlin in her delivery, instead Brittany's poetry is fresh, succinct, and ultimately hopeful while still grieving for a lost love.
In her poem, Loneliness, she puts her finger on the pulse of how one can lose oneself in a relationship. In Lessons, Brittany is philosophical about what life teaches us.The poem Hope, (quoted above), is what anyone experiencing difficulty feels, that maybe tomorrow will be better than today.
The reader who has never experienced heartache is blessed but can still learn much from this collection of poetry. Those readers who have loved and lost, will find a kindred spirit who just might help them move forward. I recommend this book highly and think it would be a wonderful inspiration to a talented musician who can put some of these beautiful words into song.
