Broken Compass

Broken Compass is a deeply reflective and evocative collection of poetry by Tommy Trull, written over the course of a pivotal year in his life. As Trull navigates the emotional landscapes of turning fifty, his poems explore themes of mortality, memory, alienation, and the constant tension between structure and chaos.

In this collection, Trull takes readers on a journey through hostile terrains-both literal and metaphorical-such as deserts, swamplands, and the unpredictable landscapes of the mind. Drawing on personal experiences from his past, present, and future, these poems resonate with anyone who has felt lost while searching for meaning and direction.

Broken Compass doesn't offer easy answers or solutions, but it does offer a sense of companionship to those who wander through their own dark nights. With sharp imagery, raw honesty, and a lyrical touch, Trull's poetry provides a profound reflection on life's inherent contradictions and the human desire to make sense of it all.

Whether you are a fan of Trull's plays, music, or previous poetry, or you're encountering his work for the first time, Broken Compass invites you into a world where the journey is just as important as the destination.
