They called me a danger to others. Maybe they were right. Adalam is a sanctuary for the things we cannot say. It is a memoir in verse - a documentation of the crash, ward, and the quiet aftermath. In this raw debut collection, J. J. Stone strips away the metaphors to reveal the ugly, necessary truths of survival. Through negative space and violent clarity, Stone asks the question: Can you build a home out of the wreckage? A read for those who feel broken, and for anyone who has ever felt like the villain in their own story.
