In this electrifying debut, Brian McGackin takes us on a lyrical journey through the complexities of being a dude in the 21st century. From the camaraderie of the locker room to the thrill of the gridiron, from the camaraderie of the bar stool to the challenges of adulthood, Broetry captures the spirit of brotherhood, sports, beer, and the unbreakable bonds that define the modern bro.

With wit, humor, and a touch of vulnerability, McGackin's poems explore the diverse facets of brohood. There are odes to the unsung heroes of the dude world, the guys who show up for their buds through thick and thin, who give the best high-fives, and who always have your back.

There are also poems that tackle the challenges of being a man in a world that often demands conformity. McGackin doesn't shy away from the complexities of masculinity, delving into topics such as body image, mental health, and the struggle to find one's place in society.
