Crystal
Crystal traces the arc of one womanโs experience after the discovery that her partner is addicted to crystal meth. In a highly original poetic act of reclamation, it plunders the drug itself and makes of it an overarching conceit to articulate the devastating impact of living with a loved one who is utterly changed.
Through moving and incisive poetry, Crystal traces the arc of one woman's experience after the discovery that her partner is addicted to crystal meth.
In a highly original poetic act of reclamation, it plunders the drug itself and makes of it an overarching conceit to articulate the devastating impact of living with a loved one who is utterly changed.
Deeply felt and tirelessly inventive, this collection gives voice to addiction's explosive effect within a family. At the same time, it speaks universally and with urgency of the power of poetry to take one through the darkest of times.
