Go ahead, try to resist the long-awaited and expanded reissue of Nicole Blackman' s classic poetry collection. We dare you. "Nicole Blackman' s spoken-word vignettes conjure up bleak, dangerous, death-haunted plots with matter-of-fact detail . . . Blackman has her own gift for tersely poetic aphorism-and a gift for turning nightmares into revelations. " -New York Times"[Blackman' s] apocalyptic, spoken-word electrolysis . . . is a biting diagnosis of modern society. " -Rolling StoneBlood Sugar is a disturbing and evocative collection of selected poems from one of the most important and influential poets and performance artists of her generation. The poems in Blood Sugar were selected from Blackman' s enormously popular chapbooks Pretty, Sweet, and Nice. This new edition includes a bonus essay and short story. It is futile to resist Nicole Blackman' s brutal accounts of obsession and beauty. So give in.
