"Broken Yet Indestructible 2020" is an updated and expanded collection of poetry, quotes and musings that follows no rules. It’s about introspection, despair, redemption, hope, faith, inclusion and unity. It’s about honoring the broken pieces in us and celebrating the possibilities held in each new day. It’s a commentary about what ails us and what soothes us. The free verse poems cover a broad spectrum of subjects, from living with depression, the plight of the woman, divisive culture, bigotry, inclusion, faith, diversity and indigenous people’s teachings. Broken Yet Indestructible provides a place and space to embrace our broken bits and find we are not alone in our struggles.
We live in a world where those that are different are marginalized and many suffer in silence, feeling alone in the sruggles. BYI 2020 is for those that have faced pain, fear, persecution, self-doubt and are still willing to let hope prevail. It's in honor off all those that are scarred and falwed and resilient and broken yet indestructible.

This collection is a perfect balance of long and short pieces -- raw and visual. Every poem has been attentively crafted to portray a commentary that covers a wide range of emotions, issues, concerns, and possibilities that readers will identify with. Aurora's work breathes slow and steady, a mesmerizing drumbeat of optimism and survival, without dismissing the hurt or darkness. Her selections work perfectly in this beautifully designed and created book.
Readers will find Aurora's book hauntingly simple and insightful--it's obvious this author wears her heart on her sleeve and writes with a maturity that comes from personal suffering and insight. She has a knack of relating the pain and dance through fire to her readers with a gentle all-encompassing translation.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book, and highly recommend it. It will have a permanent place on my coffee table--and is on my list of Christmas gifts!
