Run Riot

"This is a weird place to wake up / For someone who has woken up in some pretty strange places before." Run Riot is a collection of ninety poems, one written each day during Ash Winters' ninety day stay at a Vancouver rehab centre. A fiercely personal account of what it feels like to stop drinking after a decade of excess, Run Riot takes the reader through moments of determination, anger, hilarity, and heartbreak. Winter's frank account of early sobriety offers companionship to those who know it well and insight for those that want to know it better. Weaving the past and the present together with ruthless vulnerability, Run Riot is a powerful portrait of one person's struggle against addiction, laying bare an honest search to heal and better understand one's self.
