Calling a Wolf a Wolf

The 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.

This 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.

From "Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before" Sometimes you just have to leave whatever's real to you, you have to clomp through fields and kick the caps off. all the toadstools. Sometimes you have to march all the way to Galilee or the literal foot of God himself before you realize. you've already passed the place where you were supposed to die. I can no longer remember the being afraid, only that it came to an end.
