The poems of In the Months of My Son's Recovery inhabit the voice
and point of view of the mother of a heroin addict who enters
recovery. With clear perception and precise emotional tones, Kate
Daniels explores recovery experiences from multiple, evolving
vantage points, including active addiction, 12-step treatment,
co-occurring mental illness and addiction (known as dual
diagnosis), and relapse. These intimately voiced, harrowing poems
reveal the collateral damage that addiction inflicts on friends and
families, in addition to the primary damage sustained by addicts
themselves. Offering bold descriptions of medical processes,
maternal love, and the potential for hope as an antidote to
despair, this timely collection offers a firsthand account of the
many crises at the heart of the opioid epidemic.
