Lambda Award-winning poet Remi Recchia's second full-length poetry collection chronicles the speaker's journey with alcoholism, gender identity, and faith. Weaving between drunkenness and grace, loss and desire, the book asks us what a man looks like and what he'll do when the lights go down. While Addiction Apocalypse is located in many places—including sports stadiums, bars, beaches, IHOP, France, and the Mid- and Southwest regions at large—at its basic, like all good poetry, it is located in the trembling, beating human heart.

Remi Recchia is a Lambda Special Prize-winning poet, essayist, and editor from Kalamazoo, Michigan. An eight-time Pushcart Prize nominee, his work has appeared in World Literature Today, Best New Poets 2021, and Best of the Net 2025, among others. He is the author of two collections of poetry and four poetry chapbooks, and he is the editor of two contemporary poetry anthologies. Remi has received support from institutions such as Tin House, PEN America, and the Poetry Foundation. He holds an MFA in poetry and a Ph.D. in English. Remi is currently pursuing an M.Div. at Yale University.
