Relapse Prevention Group by Timothy Resau

We tried finding life & love…
We looked for life & love

this is good to know …
that it helps us understand
our disease.
Strange how what they
call normal is our relapse.




Timothy Resau has been published in the U.S., Canada, Portugal, and the U.K. Recently his work has been in Adelaide Literary Magazine, Sideways Poetry Magazine, Sylvia Magazine, The Beautiful Space, and an essay is forthcoming in Loch Raven Review, as well as poetry in Rat’s Ass Review, Native Skin, and Pure Slush. He’s just completed a novel called Three Gates East. His career has been in the international wine industry.
