“The poems in Rehumanization Litany move through pain—of active addiction, trauma, and the grief of losing friends to overdose—and into the beauty of a community formed amid survival. The speaker is rarely alone: a chorus of voices recurs, each with their own story of recovery, each refusing the dehumanization that addicts face in both private memory and the public gaze. The result is a litany: a recitation that speaks humanity back into lives of those struggling with addiction.” (Description from announcement)
