Written over a four-year period on tour and after losing loved ones and peers to overdose, Dupuis funnelled complicated grief into harm reduction advocacy, working to fundraise for and distribute overdose prevention resources in venues internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe slick performativity of pop, punk humour, electronic glitch and sampling, and the surprising leaps of improvisation influence these poems. But beyond music, these poems are informed by Dupuis's larger concerns about justice and organising. \u003cem\u003eCry Perfume\u003c\/em\u003e is a hopeful but realistic inventory of the virtues and evils that emerge when arts and tech collide. Those dualities are cloaked in the same sparkling fragrance, and there are twinned pleasures and regrets in parting the smokescreen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605533835500,"sku":"9781939568625","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781939568625-cry-perfume.jpg?v=1778131458"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/sadie-dupuis.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
