Summary

With more grace and brutality than a razor blade slashing your thoughts, this rare piece of work defies your morality and ultimately leaves you contemplating your existence. Its lyrical brilliance, inspired by the poetic fury of Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Nine Inch Nails and Rage Against The Machine. The unique literary composition can be traced back to the style of legendary poets, Charles Bukowski and Anne Sexton. Drug Deal is the creative achievement of a writer who has lived through the pain of addiction and survived. Despite the author's 15 years of sobriety, she admits that her mouth still salivates at the sight of a shot glass. Her fiercely, amusing potrayal of a junkie battling a desperate addiction propels you into a new reality. It colorfully implies that death is better than breathing, and yet, convinces you that living out this strange life will pay off somehow. Her dark cynical humor dominates throughout. You can wander through the despair and walk away feeling empowered and serene. Her somewhat shocking view of life takes you deep into the pitfalls of her mind and lets you discover what most desperate addicts can never Peace. This literary transgression of darkness eventually blinds you with an optimistic light. It reveals a vulnerable, palatable side of a corrupt world as seen through the eyes of a survivor while brilliantly depicting an intuitive voice growing up and defensively fighting for its own integrity. It exemplifies moral and ethical decisions gone wrong while leaving you to thoughtfully contemplate your own mistakes and the unfortunate circumstances of others. Drug Deal With God triumphs in revealing the beauty and power of self-consciousness. The emotional contrasts are startling. It can visually describe a loaded syringe emptying itself into your mind and then show you how beautiful the sunlight is, while falling across someone's face. In the end, its delicate and violent affair with pain will devastate you.
