12 Step Poetry - Anonymous

"12 Step Poetry leads the reader through the emotional heights and depths of the awakening from addiction, the struggle, and the breakthrough into the light and warm embrace of recovery."  Grant Schnarr

"The 12^th Step says 'having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message'  to others in need. Why not use poetry to carry that message? This poet uses magical and heartfelt imagery to convey the journey to spiritual awakening, inviting us to do likewise. Poetry can bypass the guarded intellect, open up the heart and senses, and become a kind of prayer connecting us to the divine....."

".....a gift from an author who knows well the steps of this path, having entered through the grace of God into 'the foreign space of hopeful faith,' discovering within all of us 'the pure manifestation of infinite Light unconditionally nourished by infinite Life.'  I highly recommend this book for those who work the 12 Steps and anyone, everyone, who has the desire to delve deeply into the poetry of the human experience itself. If you have in any way struggled on a path of addiction to recovery, you will recognize yourself in these poems." Grant Schnarr
