Now seventeen, Oak is charming, beautiful, and manipulative. He’s on a mission that will lead him into the north, and he wants Suren’s help. Suren is saved by none other than Prince Oak, heir to Elfhame, to whom she was once promised in marriage and who she has resented for years. Lonely, and still haunted by the merciless torments she endured in the Court of Teeth, she bides her time by releasing mortals from foolish bargains. She believes herself forgotten until the storm hag, Bogdana, chases her through the night streets. Suren, child queen of the Court of Teeth, and the one person with power over her mother, fled to the human world. There, she is using an ancient relic to create monsters of stick and snow who will do her bidding and exact her revenge.

Part 2 (Lines 79-93) gives a name to the destruction first mentioned in Part 1: Moloch. Ginsberg closes Part 1 by stating that those destroyed had “the absolute heart of the poem of life butchered out of their own bodies ” (Line 78). Though the stanzas reference friends, lovers, and strangers in the past tense, Ginsberg breaks this thought pattern in Line 72 to address Carl Solomon in the present tense (“ah, Carl, while you are not safe I am not safe, and now you’re really in the total animal soup of time-” (Line 72)) before returning to the past tense. The best minds-Ginsberg’s friends and lovers-fall victim to both physical and mental ailments including suicide, death, mental illness, drug use, (un)fulfilling casual sex, the oppressive US government, capitalism, formal poetry, and heteronormative values.

The singer tells the story of her bruised life - a tale of teenage prostitution, racist indignities and abusive men, heroin addiction and heavy drinking, corrupt cops and jail time - without self-pity. Yet for all the factual inaccuracies and exaggerations for which the book has been taken to task since its publication 50 years ago, "Lady Sings the Blues" captures the tart voice and unflinching eye of one of the most affecting and mythicized artists of the last century. When she was born, her mother was 19, her father was 17 and they never lived under the same roof. Like other stories in this frank, funny and compelling book, what's on the page doesn't always jibe with the facts dug up by Holiday's biographers.
