A writer has published "Amphetamine Psalm," a poem he says he wrote a year ago during the worst stretch of his life. In an accompanying note, he describes losing a job he loved at a bar called Sweet Smitty's, surviving a suicide attempt, spending time in a psychiatric hold, and going straight from discharge into a stimulant binge. He says parts of the poem were written during that period. Readers are engaging with the candid account of mental illness and recovery.
