About this listen

Bestselling-memoirist Keira Shae (BCC Press) debuts her first collection of poetry, Cigarettes & Saints, taking you through her amphetamine-riddled childhood of abuse to her blooming as a feminine, queer creature in a scrupulous world.

Delicate, submissive, vulnerable, and sensual, you reap the honey of both intense love and severe loss. Illustrated with subtle sketches or the allure of found-photography, one can taste all her lust for life as well as her thoughtful conclusions.

While much of her work exemplifies a lover’s worship for The Other, you ultimately find yourself craving the enigmatic writer herself; to be seen, loved, licked, and sketched by a soul with such an open heart.

Traces of poets Frederick Garcia Lorca, Li Young Lee, modern songwriters such as Cautious Clay or Damian Rice, as well as Allen Ginsberg and Sylvia Plath, can be found in this audiobook.

As with all previous work written by Shae, this does not include any AI generated content.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
