Cigarette Blues: Smoke, Silence and Song

By Chinthu Udayarajan

Cigarette Blues is a raw, intimate collection of poems that moves through addiction, longing, memory and quiet rebellion. Written in the pauses between breaths, these poems trace nights thick with smoke, desire and unspoken truths. The book does not romanticize cigarettes, but uses them as metaphor: ritual, refuge and reminder of impermanence. Unfiltered and deeply personal, Cigarette Blues listens to vulnerability without apology, offering poetry that lingers like smoke in the air - brief, ethereal and impossible to ignore.
