An anthology edited by acclaimed poets Kaveh Akbar and Paige Lewis.
In 1997, Sarabande published Last Call, a poetry anthology which became a formative text on the lived experiences of addiction.

Another Last Call: Poems on Addiction & Deliverance showcases work from poets like Joy Harjo, Afaa M. Weaver, Diane Seuss, Layli Long Soldier, Sharon Olds, Jericho Brown, Ada Limón, and Ocean Vuong, as well as many new and powerful voices.
