I had never heard of this book before Kristie came on our radio show and read us several of her poems, as well as told us about her kinky past.

This book is an original, revealing a woman who longs for human closeness, choosing the sexual path to her destination. Strong vernacular and erotic themes make this book a must-have for fans of sex and poetry alike.

This review is from: Libidacoria: IN A PLAIN BROWN WRAPPER (Paperback)

Libidacoria: In A Plain Brown Wrapper, lends sexual mystery to fantasy. It has the feel of sweet innocent desire that smells like leather. Poetic deviance searching for the picket fence with a chain swing attached to the mind. Not your mother's poetry, and isn't that refreshing.
