Description
"The Only Worlds We Know" is a nuanced and tactile look at both sobriety, and what comes after. Patient meditations on loss and the land where the people we love live and are also buried.

Advance Praise
"The Only Worlds We Know is an “act of remembering like sharpening a blade until the blade is gone.” Memory is shaped without resolution in these moving poems. They beautifully track what happens when unspeakable grief refuses to be silent."
-Terrance Hayes, author, How to Be Drawn
"Michael Lee has found new ways to write about some of the crucial subjects―love and love lost, recovery and addiction, the bullet and the pill. No wonder he writes 'For my final wish, another/ final wish,' wishing to keep writing poems forever."
-Billy Collins, author, Sailing Alone Around the Room
"Worlds exists in the aftermath of grief, violence and addiction. These are not easy poems, and Lee offers no easy solutions . . . Yes, there’s wreckage here, but also these words will carry you. This is a striking debut collection―a voice that feels urgent, honest, and earned."
-Matthew Olzmann, author, Mezzanines
