The Way Back: Poems of Addiction and Recovery

The Way Back details the power of poetry to illuminate the damage done by addiction and follows the process of recovery. As recovery in sobriety accumulates in days, months, then years, the senses open and feelings that have been anesthetized come to the surface. Those feelings are expressed in the poet’s observations. The poetry is based on the true story of Michael Landfair’s recovery and 29 years of sobriety. His sobriety wouldn’t have been possible without the fellowship of Alcoholics. Anonymous.
