Deceptively short at only 34 pages, this little book of twenty poems digs deep into the realities of trauma, addiction, and the anxieties of long term recovery and sobriety. Engaging and raw, this chapbook lays bare the highs and lows of drug addiction and sobriety. With notes about the drug war and drug policy in the afterword, this short chapbook also features open-ended discussion/reflection questions about the effects of addiction on the individual, the effects of the drug war on communities, and healing from trauma through the arts. This inexpensive chapbook makes an excellent text for discussion groups, meetings, or classes. Purposefully written for almost any comprehension level, these poems have something for all types of people in all walks of life. B. Rae (Bethany Rae Perryman) is a nationally active recovery advocate and writer who is in long term recovery herself. Working toward evidence based drug policy and access to modernized, secular treatment for people who use drugs, the author dedicates the piece to harm reduction workers.
