Dear America: A Breakup Letter
Available now from Not a Pipe Publishing
Breakups are hard. But sometimes they are the best option.
Writing a letter to his newly ex-country, award-winning teacher, author, poet, and activist Benjamin Gorman explains why he’s leaving America, and the reason is not what one would first guess. Packed with insights, sprinkled with humor, and delivered with courage and humility, this breakup letter feels like an opportunity to eavesdrop on the painful end of a relationship, offering an opportunity for others to emotionally prepare themselves for their own variations on the same experience. Clearly sincere in his hope that he’s wrong, Gorman gives us a chance to take steps in case the United States gets even half as bad as he predicts and offers some valuable tips about different ways to weather the coming storm.
