A trail journal exploring the magic, madness, myth and moonshine of America in story, poetry and lyric. Inspired by a comment from the stage of a Billy Bragg and Joe Henry concert, Steve Bonham takes a unique, idiosyncratic and personal journey to search out what makes America so compelling.
​
“I let the beautiful chilled waters wash away the sweat and grime of the trek, my spirits soaring in the ecstasy of being alive. If at that moment I had died, I would have died a happy man. My eyes turned to the bright blue sky, my arms lifted in salute to the magic potential we have to experience joy unbound, albeit and because it is fragmented and momentary thing.”

​A picaresque journey in search of the spirit and soul of America, an America beyond the headlines. A Beautiful Broken Dream is a ‘trail journal’ of stories, poems and lyrics all tied together by a journey mostly on foot through the great forests of the southern states of the US and then a trip along the music road, from Ashville to Nashville and New Orleans with his sometime travelling companion and great friend, the artist Dinny Pocock. Endeavouring to avoid irritable bears, rattlesnakes, agitated natives, over-exuberant creeks, and a whole variety of other challenges, they throw themselves into the heart of Appalachia and the Southern States and the music that flows from it. What emerges is a wry, compassionate, idiosyncratic and highly personal view of this land and the ‘truth’ it holds for all of us.
