Eat the Worm (1995)
Published in the same year as his debut, Eat the Worm is another early collection of poetry that showcases Madsen's distinctive voice. The title itself suggests the book's candid and at times provocative nature. The book features a blend of autobiographical poetry that, like his other works, doesn't shy away from the darker aspects of life. It provides an intimate look into his mind and experiences, cementing his reputation as a serious poet unafraid to expose his vulnerabilities and frustrations.
