Sweet Crude
Randy Blasing

This is the eighth collection from a poet of formal grace an open heart. Blasing's poems of love, the passing of time, and the kinds of desires that transcribe a life are timeless and full of warmth.

“Sweet Crude is both celebratory and wistful, playing out passages of memory and desire that inscribe a life.... luminous in their jeweled aspects and crafted to be enduring.”
—David St. John
