Another Last Call

A poetry anthology on addiction edited by acclaimed poets Kaveh Akbar and Paige Lewis. The follow-up to Sarabande's Last Call: Poems on Alcoholism, Addiction, & Deliverance, Another Last Call is a collection of poems from forty contemporary, living poets, all speaking to the experience of addiction. For some, it's not their own experience of addiction that's altered the trajectory of their living, but the suffering of a beloved. Represented are contemporary poets such as Joy Harjo, Afaa M. Weaver, Diane Seuss, Layli Long Soldier, Sharon Olds, Jericho Brown, Ada Limón, and Ocean Vuong, as well as many new and dazzling voices. In their introduction, editors Kaveh Akbar and Paige Lewis write, "What this anthology feels like to us is a poetry mixtape, lovingly curated and organized for you, dear reader, that it might usefully illuminate or complicate or accompany you in your living."
