Still Here, Still Standing is a poetry collection for everyone who has ever been pulled under - by addiction, by a system that grinds rather than supports, by the accumulated weight of being a person in a difficult world - and found, somewhere in the rubble, a reason to get back up.
Forty poems trace a loose arc from descent to renewal: the ritual of dependence, the indignity of waiting rooms and form-filling, the first terrifying night sober, the slow and unglamorous work of recovery. These are poems about fatherhood and fault lines, about scar tissue that grows stronger than what it replaced, about learning - late, imperfectly - to be at home in your own skin.
