The powerful selection of forty-four classic lesbian love poems in this collection by no means adheres to the simple "love poem" formula. A broad range of moods and experiences is presented here-celebratory, erotic, passionate, humorous, tender, and wry. The diversity of voices represented in this volume provides constant suprises-forty-four nuanced, singular treatments of this age-old theme from a lesbian perspective.

A Key to Everything,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Key To Everything: Classic Lesbian Love Poems (Hardcover)
When I ordered this book, I really had no idea what to expect...I'd thought probably a cross between old-English poetry and modern day rock love songs. I randomly opened the book when it came, and the first poem, which was printed in the shape of a heart, captured me completely...the last line literally took my breath away. From that moment on, I could not put this little book down. It has moved me to tears, made me laugh right out loud, and so deliciously arroused me. I would nod my head in recognition with some of the poems, and catch my breath with others. It's fabulous. It's small, about the size of my hands, but the impact it carries is huge. This will be one of the books I hold as a favorite throughout the rest of my life. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is in love, has loved, or hopes to love...it will take you places you have been and places you have yet to be. Incredible journey for such a tiny book.

The Key to Everything...,
By Linda Myers (Delaware) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Key To Everything: Classic Lesbian Love Poems (Hardcover)
Have you ever been searching for the perfect words to catch her interest? or her heart? You'll find them here. "I offer you Persimmons" a poem of possibilities. "The Western Union Lady" makes me laugh and wonder who I might send the same telegram to.
