However it is defined, addiction can have devastating consequences, often shattering lives, sundering families, causing impoverishment, and even triggering suicide. Yet it can also be a source of inspiration. In these frank essays, leading American and Canadian writers explore their surprisingly diverse personal experiences with this complex phenomenon, candidly recounting what happened when alcohol, heroin, smoking, food, gambling, or sex -- sometimes in combination -- took over their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLorna Crozier's\u003c\/b\u003e award-winning books of poetry include \u003ci\u003eThe Blue Hour of the Day\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eInventing the Hawk\u003c\/i\u003e.
