Addict Poems of Drug Abuse

"Addict: Poems of Drug Abuse" is one of the original poetry chap books written by the author, Christopher L. Jones, during his teenage years in the early 1980s growing up in the American Southwest. Originally published by a small underground zine publisher, it was distributed for free at concerts, parties and community events along with a group of other young punk new wave writers.At times psychotic and others loathsome, "Addict: Poems of Drug Abuse" is a collection of poems relating the author's struggles with addiction, survival and self-worth. Written with an uncompromising mix of modern slang these poems offer a titillating view into the dark and twisted mind of the Addict. What started out as an art therapy session in his youth has become a lifelong poetry obsession and means of maintaining sanity for the author.
