Join Neil Steinberg as he reads from his new book, Out of the Wreck I Rise: A Literary Companion to Recovery, written with Sara Bader and published this month by the University of Chicago Press. Accompanying him will be Rick Kogan of the Chicago Tribune; professor and writer Bill Savage; and Carol Marin, the respected TV journalist. Steinberg, a Chicago Sun-Times columnist, will discuss the medicinal power of poetry, and how Out of the Wreck I Rise uses excerpts from poems, novels, letters, memoirs, movies and songs to guide readers through the maze that is addiction.
