As someone who is over 17 years clean and sober, I’m always on the lookout for how addiction and recovery are portrayed in art and popular culture. When I came across Nick Gardner’s collection of linked stories, “Delinquents And Other Escape Attempts,” I thought this was as good a portrait of addiction and recovery as I have read.
On today's show: A conversation with Nick Gardner, author of the linked story collection Delinquents, and other Escape Attempts,
Nick Gardner is a writer, teacher, and recovering addict. He earned his bachelor’s degree in English from The Ohio State University in 2017 and an MFA in fiction writing from Bowling Green State University in 2021. His novella, Hurricane Trinity, is forthcoming from Unsolicited Press in 2023. He has published one book of poetry, So Marvelously Far (2019), through Crisis Chronicles Press , and his chapbook Decomposed (2017) is published through Cabin Floor Esoterica. His poetry and fiction has appeared or is forthcoming in Epiphany, Reckon Review, The Atticus Review, Ocean State Review, Fictive Dream, Trampset and other journals. In his ninth year of recovery from opioid addiction, his research involves drug use, abuse, as well as alternative recovery methods.
