Publisher's Summary
The Sick Bag Song chronicles Cave's journey with his band, the Bad Seeds, on a 22-day North American tour. Inspired by John Berryman's Dream Songs, it is an epic exploration of inspiration, creativity, loss, love and death.
The book blends poetry, lyrics, memories, musings, flights of fancy and journal entries. The Sick Bag Song began life scribbled onto airline sick bags acquired during the internal flights taken by Cave during the tour. To some degree a companion piece to his feature doc 20,000 Days on Earth, The Sick Bag Song further explores and develops the mystique of Nick Cave.

A timeless piece of literature
Nick steps into the bloodstream of poetry and lets it toss and tumble him throughout the universe of the human soul. Made me feel alive. Love this man.

I Will Never Stop Listening to This
This is how an audiobook should be, not read, but expertly performed. I enjoyed the book immensely upon first reading, but it was nothing like Nick tearing and scraping over the text, mining it for whatever it is worth.
I’m not going to go into the content and themes, but if you can relate, these words are fire.

Amazing read
Fantastic insight into touring life on the road. Would have loved to seen a stop on this tour and string all the stories together.
