Cram is a literary journal featuring poets writing about Chicago. Presented by ChicagoPoetry.com.

From the back cover: "Step into the Light" is a collection of poetry that casts a cold, hard eye on the coke-snorting, beer-swilling, pill-popping world of contemporary America as it lurches into the twilight of the twentieth century. This book speaks with a literary tongue that tells the grim story of addiction with honesty and gut-wrenching detail. But it also sings with joy and triumph about recovery, sobriety, and serenity.
