Incredible and moving work

I attended a reading by Susan (she is applying for a professorship at my school) and I must say, it was incredible. She is mainly a performace/ slam poet, but a lot of the stuff that she read for us was her more typical work. Her poem on her father slipping away (I think it was "What the Doctors do not Tell You About Morphine") had such a wrenching impact that I felt it in my gut, even sitting in a bland conference room surrounded by professors and other students. She also performed a poem in the "voice" of Ophelia, living as a stripper in modern-day New Orleans, that was absolutely brilliant - the performance was hilarious and very appropriate for a one-woman show or something. This is definitely a collection you should check out.
