Book Description

September 1, 2005

A rebellious anthology of porn stories about sex and the modern femme: no-holds-barred queer sex tales that reinvent lesbian erotica in ways that are transgressive and empowering. Starting off where other lesbian erotic anthologies end, these are not your typically delicate, lace-and-feathers kind of stories; instead, they’re blunt and hard-hitting and challenge traditional notions of gender roles when it comes to getting off.

The anthologists argue that good, clean lesbian smut is difficult to come by these days, overwhelmed by political correctness and authorial self-censorship. Unabashedly raunchy, these stories prove that femme porn can be sexy and smart at the same time.

Includes stories by Nalo Hopkinson (author of The Salt Roads and co-editor of So Long Been Dreaming), Anna Camilleri (author of I Am a Red Dress and editor of Red Light), Rachel Kramer Bussel, Daphne Gottlieb, Ducky Doolittle, Zoe Whittall, and many more.

Amber Dawn is a writer and poetry editor of PRISM international magazine. Trish Kelly is a writer and festival organizer who has been published in numerous anthologies. They both live in Vancouver.

Editorial Reviews

Review

[The editors'] deeply personal introductions are brave insights into their own world and how they found empowerment through pornography.
—Xtra! West (Xtra! West )

...It can be safely said the writing here is superb, far superior to that of many "erotic" anthologies.
—Ottawa Citizen (Ottawa Citizen )

Canadian dyke daredevils Amber Dawn and Trish Kelly dismantle every expectation of lesbian erotica in their collection, With a Rough Tongue: Femmes Write Porn. Featuring a select group (full disclosure: myself included) of dyke-identified women writers, they go beyond standard notions of the erotic to playfully, artfully, and boldly look at real women's desires.
—Bust Magazine (Bust Magazine )

Well-written, empowering, and challenging.
—Books to Watch Out For (Books to Watch Out F )

An empowering collection of pieces that combine skilled writing with an honest look at lesbian desire. These stories question gender and sexuality in a way I haven’t seen in lesbian erotica before, yet manage to be sexy as hell.

3.0 out of 5 stars kind of disappointing, October 6, 2007
This review is from: With a Rough Tongue: Femmes Write Porn (Paperback)
Maybe I'm out-growing erotica? There was something missing from the stories, that wasn't coming across. Excuse the punz.
