Named Fears - A Collected Inventory is a collection of poems, prose, and lyrics that examines fear as a lived experience rather than an abstract idea. Moving through fear of being seen, misunderstood, abandoned, changed, and left unfinished, these pieces trace how fear quietly shapes our choices over time. This collection does not seek to conquer fear, but to name it-asking what happens when fear is examined honestly, without spectacle, and allowed to lose some of its power. Brandon Brookbank is a writer whose work explores fear, memory, and the quiet interior negotiations that shape our lives. His writing focuses less on resolution than on recognition-naming what unsettles us and examining how it influences our choices over time. He lives in the Midwest, where he writes, listens to music, watches cheesy horror movies, and pays attention to what lingers.
