B Sides & Rarities

In his 14th poetry collection, Bledsoe explores the emotional impact of the pandemic using a sardonic sense of humor contrasted with sincere observations, creating an intense emotional experience. His poems range from personal anecdotes about his childhood and adult life, to surreal portraits that explore significant themes of alienation and love. Similar in scope to The Bottle Episode, B Sides and Rarities is a moving commentary on the state of America today.
