The Drunkard: A Poetic Reading
"The Drunkard: A Poetic Reading" by Thomas Nicholson, originally published in 1887, is a compelling verse narrative that delves into the perils of alcohol abuse. This allegorical poem vividly portrays the descent into addiction and its devastating consequences on individuals and their families.
