Brett C. Persson is the author of multiple collections of thought-provoking poetry and prose. A recovering alcoholic and drug addict, Brett draws deeply from his own experiences, exploring addiction, recovery, and the long road toward healing.

His work seeks to remind readers that they are enough and encourages them to choose a life beyond pain, trauma, suffering, and failure.
