The Blackened Blues

<p>Acclaimed author and music critic Sean Murphy's new poetry collection is a searing and timely take on American culture that finds perspective on the present by interrogating our past. <em>The Blackened Blues</em> offers a powerful glimpse into the human psyche exploring the minds of artists and visionaries addicts and trauma survivors searching (as we all are) for some way to live. We leave this book with a heavy dose of truth but also of the kind of beauty that makes such truth bearable. </p><p> </p><p><br></p>
