Smoke Signals from the Edge was written from a place of steadiness, not survival. These poems come from life after addiction, where the chaos has quieted but the echoes remain. Rather than purging pain, this work listens closely to what lingers: memory, shame, pride, hope, and the slow learning of how to live without self-destruction as a compass.

The edge is not crisis, but the space between who Mitchell Odom was and who he is becoming. The smoke signals are not screams for rescue, but proof of presence. These poems map where he has been and where he stands now, choosing consistency over collapse, and peace without applause.

This book is not about making it through. It's about staying.
