excellent lesbian poetry by the best

Wonderful book Chrytos is the best when it comes to lesbian erotica great to read to or give to your partner/lover/wife

Undiluted and Delicious

This book is funny, sharp, and coursely textured. Chrystos' voice is strong enough to engage every subject with an intensity that is hard to resist. Her love poetry sweats off the page with a passionate, blushing intimacy. Her political poems reveal the absurbly enormous gap between rich and poor, racisim that has become so ingrained it hurts to realize it, and the artiface of cities, organizations, and movements that forget individuals, nature, values...life. Most striking is the force with which Chrystos blows up illusion and the subtle, quiet ways she takes back what belongs to her.
