Alice in Wonderland

C. E. Laine's "Alice In Wonderland" is a collection of poems inspired by the author's exposure to alcholism in past relationships. These poems are about damage and recovery; how alcoholism effects others. Presented in a range from the surreal to a narrative style, this is a collection of personal insights and understanding. It is dedicated to all the alcoholics she has known, and to their hopeful recovery. Laine says, "These poems are born of exposure to alcoholism: its effects, addiction and recovery. This collection is for the alcoholics I have known. Some are like wind, a distinct memory, a thing that defines contours and chages the terrain in their wake. Perhaps water is a more fitting image for the erosion alcoholism creates. May each of them find peace, wherever they are now."
