Traces of Ecstasy

Traces of Ecstasy is a collection of poems by Michael Monroe. It is a raucous semi-autobiographical romp featuring poems with themes such as drug addiction and recovery, partying, travel, love, life, and everything in between. Several of these poems have been published in renowned journals and magazines but this is the first time they've been available as a compilation. Here you will find the humor, heartbreak, insanity, and wisdom of someone who has lived life to the fullest. Some influences include Charles Bukowski, Allen Ginsberg, Sylvia Plath, and Pablo Neruda.
