Despair to Repair: A Poetry Collection of Addiction, Recovery, and Life

Addiction consumes. It destroys. But it does not extinguish the flicker of hope that burns fiercely in us all.

In Despair to Repair, Beasley uses poetic precision to walk through the fires of addiction into the calming sunlight of recovery. With humor, self-reflection, and depth, he constructs lines that invite people into his process and gives them hope for their own journey: whether that is a journey of addiction, heartbreak, or normal everyday life.

Whether you are a mile into the recovery journey or just beginning, Beasley’s insights throughout this collection will prove to be a lighthouse in the fierce rapids that constantly try to pull you back.
