The Sick Bag Song

The Sick Bag Song, the new book from Nick Cave was inspired by the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds North American tour in 2014.
It began life as notes scribbled on airline sick bags during the 22-city journey and grew into a restless, full-length, epic poem, seeking out the roots of inspiration, love and meaning. Spurred by encounters with modern day North America, and racked by romantic longing and exhaustion, Cave teases out the significant moments, the people, the books and the music that have influenced and inspired him, and drops them into his sick bag.
