Question

A provocative book of poetry about addiction and loss asks the questions we all want answered:

Why do drugs take over our lives?

Can someone break the bonds of addiction without help?

What is it like to escape with your life?

Questions is a raw, confessional, and sparklingly inventive book of poems inspired by the author's losses-the death of their fiance at age 23 and the end of a decade-long relationship-their addiction to marijuana, heroin and methamphetamine.

B.K. explores the losses that must be overcome to achieve full life while she probes her own addiction, to drugs and writing; confronts mortality, in both its sudden and gradual guises; and attempts to uncover the nature of God within.
