Cover ArtKaveh Akbar is one of my favorite contemporary poets. His works wrestle with everything from faith to addiction. For me, I felt that even though this collection goes to some dark places, it ends with radiant joy.
 
Publisher's description:
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.
