Abstract

Sticky Appetites by Meghan Sullivan is a collection of poetry influenced by spoken word, the New York School, and the confessional mode. This work is a product of play. The poems explore the exuberant yet damaging facets of existence—consumption of drugs, foods, selves, and lovers. Bubbling over with crass and intimate diction, their development often unfolds associatively or radially from one line to the next. Simultaneously erratic and spiritual, the cherished and childish ruminations of life bounce off the pages of this collection.
