The Clarity of Chaos

The Clarity of Chaos

This poetry book takes the reader on the profound journey from the dark closet of hiding a drinking addiction, to the sad wake up calls that life throws at you in the hopes you will wake up, to the emergence that happens once you make the decision to leave the dark closet and choose yourself. Living in the clarity of sobriety. My greatest desire is to have those who read this book to fee seen, heard and less alone in their own journey.

Hannah been in recovery from alcohol for over two and a half years. Her journey toward sobriety began while she was studying at university in Paris—a pivotal chapter of her life both personally and creatively. It was during this time, while working on her thesis, that she began writing The Clarity of Chaos, a poetry collection born from the emotional turbulence of early recovery. Overwhelmed by the urge to drink, she turned to writing as a form of expression and healing. Through poetry, Hannah found a way to process pain, reclaim my voice, and share her truth. The Clarity of Chaos is not just a book—it’s a reflection of Hannah's journey and a message of hope. The goal is to inspire others who are navigating similar paths or grappling with their own struggles with substance use.

This book will be available for purchase at the event.
