A poet, journalist, and activist, Alicia Cook offers a soundtrack of survival.
Structured like an old-school mix-tape, Stuff I've Been Feeling Lately is Alicia Cook's lyric message to anyone who has dealt with addiction. 'Side A' touches on all aspects of the human condition: life, death, love, trauma, and growth. 'Side B' contains haunting black-out remixes of those poems.
“"...written in the style of an old mix tape (OMG, miss those). Side A is all about life, love, death, hurt, endings, beginnings, family, relationships, and so much more. Side B takes readers on a different journey, utilizing blackout poetry to 'remix' the work Cook compiled on Side A. Pretty cool." (E. CE Miller, Bustle)”
