Suede: A Collection of Poetry takes us on many journeys through vivid imagery and lyrical stanzas: from a toddler in a cobbler shop to childhood abuse, loss of faith and loved ones, to fairy tales and celebrities. With a blue-collar voice and emotional honesty, the poet leaves us feeling inspired, outraged, hopeful, and blessed. Suede pulls us inside another person's world then seamlessly pushes us out again to let us breathe.
