30 Days Dry

In his first poetry collection, Robert Eric Shoemaker delves deeply into the darkest haven, a rift filled with addictions of harmful and placid varieties many are familiar with. Over the course of a month the writer's attempts to remain sober and clean of all contaminants demonstrate an on-going internal battle, studded with triumphs and failures, moments of insight and moments of pain. Shoemaker's language brims with the electrical quality of one on the edge, living as best one can under societal and artistic pressures, as well as personal demons. Shoemaker's story and poetic voice are empathetic to the plight of multitudes. Sparkling with hope dipped in chaos, "30 Days Dry" proclaims with gusto the possibility of a future free of abuse. --Amazon Categories--NonfictionHealth & FitnessMental HealthHealingComing of AgeMemoirDiaries & JournalsArts & PhotographyThought Collection Publishing's 30 Days... series challenges artists to write consecutively for 30 days on a specific area of study, reflection, or expertise.
