Poeaddict: Poetry on Shadows, Addiction, and Recovery is a collection that speaks to anyone who has danced with the bottle, sung to the glass, and searched for light at the edge of night. These poems are written for those who have carried shadows heavier than their own skin, who mistook survival for living, who silenced their trauma with vices, or inherited wounds they never asked to hold. They are for the ones walking the fragile edge of addiction and recovery, and for the loved ones who bear witness but cannot always understand. Through unflinching honesty and lyrical beauty, Samantha Yates transforms personal struggle into a language of connection and collective healing. With sections that trace the descent into want, the breaking open of wounds, and the slow alchemy of turning ashes into stone, Poeaddict maps the nonlinear, messy, and deeply human journey toward recovery. This book is more than a collection of poetry. It's an invitation to honor your own path, to find resilience in survival, and to see beauty in imperfection. It is a work for readers of contemporary poetry, for those navigating sobriety, and for anyone who has stood at the crossroads of shadow and light.
Samantha Yates is a poet and storyteller whose work explores memory, addiction, and recovery. Writing has been part of her life since childhood, but it became essential during her transition to sobriety, offering both refuge and renewal. Her debut poetry novel, Poeaddict, transforms deeply personal struggle into a language of connection and collective healing. At the heart of her work is a belief that recovery is not one-size-fits-all-it can be nonlinear, messy, and wholly one's own. Through her writing, Samantha invites readers to honor their paths, find beauty in imperfection, and discover resilience in survival.
