The authors of Poetic Symbiosis have written a second volume of poems on the theme of living with addiction and mental illness. The first book was well received and acknowledged to be a welcome support to those in recovery and the people around them.




They have produced this volume in record time despite the prevailing pandemic and its adverse effect on the general positivity that many of us experience. This is a testimony to their determination towards their own recovery while providing an inspiration to us all.




Once again, the authors have employed their talents to convey the hopes and means of recovery for those suffering from mental health and addiction problems. It is not an easy road but, through their well-constructed poems, they show that it can be done. They don't pull any punches but they do offer hope.




This second volume retains the readable and engaging style of the first. It is informative and entertaining, despite the dark nature of its background. Once again, the authors show that there is hope in recovery and a better life to be discovered.




This book is not just for those afflicted with these problems but it gives an insight to those who have never suffered. Take a look from a different perspective - you could learn a lot!
