n nThe struggle from late youth on, with and without God, agony, narcotics and love is a torment rarely recorded with such sustained eloquence and passion as you will find in this collection. --Fanny Howe n nThis highly-anticipated debut boldly confronts addiction and courses the strenuous path of recovery, beginning in the wilds of the mind. Poems confront craving, control, the constant battle of alcoholism and sobriety, and the questioning of the self and its instincts within the context of this never-ending fight.n From Stop Me If Youve Heard This One Before Sometimes you just have to leave nwhatevers real to you, you have to clomp nthrough fields and kick the caps off nall the toadstools. Sometimes nyou have to march all the way to Galilee n nor the literal foot of God himself before you realize nyouve already passed the place where nyou were supposed to die. I can no longer remember nthe being afraid, only that it came to an end. nKaveh Akbar is the founding editor of Divedapper.
