NICOTINE
A Poetry Collection by Liam Reid
NICOTINE is a raw, burning-lipped confession. Across ninety-three pages of blood-slick stanzas and smoke-ring memories, Liam Reid delivers a body of work that aches with love, lust, grief, and the ghosts we let bite too deep.
Tinged with the scent of menthol kisses and heartbreak, this collection explores the eroticism of emotional damage - where vampires leave bruises that blossom like guilt, and ex-lovers haunt your hoodie, your bed, your bloodstream. Poems pulse between tenderness and toxicity, caught in the liminal space between being needed and being consumed.
At its core, NICOTINE is a portrait of obsessive love and its aftermath. Through elegies for old flames, whispered prayers to girls named, and brutal reckonings with selfhood, Reid offers a voice both vulnerable and venomous - a boy in a hoodie, trying to survive the aftertaste of intimacy.
Unapologetically queer, deeply sensory, and emotionally unfiltered, NICOTINE is not a collection for children - it is a book for anyone who has ever loved too hard, lost too much, or kissed like they were trying to forget something.
