This review is from: The Poetry of Sex: Lesbians Write the Erotic (Paperback)
Wonderful variety of writing styles. Each selection ranges from one to three pages.
The poems are located in seven sections -
The Erotic Territory
The Efficacy of Desire
Passion Moves
Lust and Longing
Dreams and Realities
Who I Am - Who You Are
Touched With Love
What I especially liked was at the end of each section the authors offer their thoughts on why they write erotic poetry - highly entertaining and insightful - a real bonus. This was a terrific idea by the editor.
At the end of the book are nicely detailed notes from the authors about themselves.
This is a don't miss book -
From the back of the book - A diverse group of women writing multilayered poems. With a fierce honesty, seventy-eight women share their knowledge of sexual pleasure, humor, the loss of desire, body memories, politics, self-sexuality, separation, fantasy, and lust.
