Poetic meditation on loss, addiction, and survival.
If you're drawn to poetry that delves deep into the human experience, Michael Lee's "The Only Worlds We Know" might resonate with you. It examines addiction and the journey to sobriety with a candidness that's both raw and elegantly articulated. Lee's work has struck a chord with many for its intimate exploration of love, loss, and the relentless pursuit of existence against the odds. It's a book that doesn't just describe a life; it makes you feel the weight and beauty of every moment lived.
