Living the Blues
by Jeremy Reed

Living the Blues is Jeremy Reed's newest book of poetry. Nestled in the middle of the book is the essay 'And The Stars Were Shining: The Glitter and Menthol Cool of John Ashbery's Poetry', and at the end are two prose pieces What I'm Doing and What I'm Giving. The colour blue runs throughout the book with celebrities, pop song remixes, poppies and diamonds.
