Changed Chains

Former Civil Rights activist and US House of Representative John Lewis once shared that, “Ours is not the struggle of one day, one week, or one year.

Ours is not the struggle of one judicial appointment or presidential term. Ours is the struggle of a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes, and each one of us in every generation must do our part.”

Robert Arrington USA

Book
CHANGED CHAINS
“Colebrook’s impactful vision is visceral in its harsh reality. He intentionally bypasses the usual intellectual-exercise-as-historical missive, and instead plunges into the ongoing crisis of modern-day subjugation and Jim Crow. As with Baldwin, Colebrook’s work ultimately arrives at the paradox of how to love a society that does not love him.

His vivid language emerges into a place of optimism, however cautionary. His message is hopeful, evoking imagery of literal and figurative shackles that through the forge of extraordinary hardship and sheer will, have been re-cast into treasures. His work is steeped in the persistent memory that what we have been subjected to is not who we are. Exceptionally well done.”

CHANGED CHAINS
“The poem gave me reason to pause and reflect on the realities that shaped me. I was compelled to relive a truth that demands answers among them … The conflict between the reader and reality is evident and moves me from sadness to resolve. I was reader, audience, actor , playwrite , director and finally, armed with a clear perspective; an agent for change. Changed!”

“Roderick has always marched to the beat of a different drum and now I understand why he felt bold enough to lead then and why he continues to lead now. In this powerful poetic story, Roderick describes our journey in such a way that you too will feel compelled to lead until the battle is won!“

CHANGED CHAINS
“The work creates a visualization that beautifully describes the slave as an instrument of economic value … From the opening line, one can see the gross injustice, the inhumanity, the imbalance in the value scales of those who traded humans for the purpose of profit.”

MY STORIES
“After reading Roderick’s short stories, I was prompted to think about the many aspects of my life and the lives of others that we take for granted. Roderick’s stories are thought provoking and interesting. One thought led to another thought and I could not put down the manuscript until I had read them all.”

MY STORIES 2
“Roderick Colebrook’s collection of short stories is like the genre of the story itself … accessible, brilliant and gripping. This is a collection dedicated to all aspiring achievers, and is warm, funny, sad and eloquent. The collected heroes in this volume together weave a tapestry of different lives caught up in law and society. The book is an enjoyable and profound work that will give all readers pleasure. ”

MY STORIES 2
“It was such a pleasure to read your collection of short stories. I was emotionally moved and I can relate to every single one. They were all relevant. Either the story was about something that happens or happened in our culture. So this made each story so much more meaningful.”
