Overview

Still Here, Still Standing is a poetry collection for everyone who has ever been pulled under - by addiction, by a system that grinds rather than supports, by the accumulated weight of being a person in a difficult world - and found, somewhere in the rubble, a reason to get back up. Forty poems trace a loose arc from descent to renewal: the ritual of dependence, the indignity of waiting rooms and form-filling, the first terrifying night sober, the slow and unglamorous work of recovery. These are poems about fatherhood and fault lines, about scar tissue that grows stronger than what it replaced, about learning - late, imperfectly - to be at home in your own skin. Raw where it needs to be, lyrical throughout, and quietly defiant from first page to last, Still Here, Still Standing is a book for survivors. For people in recovery. For people who have been written off and are writing themselves back. For anyone who made it through the night. And anyone still trying to.
