Little Sandwiches

By Travis Blair

Although the poems of this fine collection are without a doubt among the most tastefully erotic pieces I have been privileged to read, they are also a paean to all the senses: touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing. Blair's allusions (from Neruda to Picasso, and the French Quarter of New Orleans to the brothels of Las Vegas) are erudite and fascinatingly various; his diction is concise and skillfully devoid the excesses of tedious modifiers; and his carefully hewn poetic craft sparkles on every page. This artist knows the difference between "erotica" and "pornography," and possesses the artistry to keep his work indisputably grounded in the former.~ Larry D. Thomas, Member, Texas Institute of Letters, 2008 Texas Poet Laureate "Little Sandwiches is a delightfully wicked collection: a celebration of eating and who to dine with. Travis Blair loves women, not as earthly beings, but as unobtainable goddesses. He sets us on a pedestal and showcases all our dirty little secrets."~ Michelle Hartman-Editor, Red River Review "His name is Blair. Travis Blair. And in Little Sandwiches, his second full-length collection, he offers morsels, tidbits and tiny vignettes: the long-legged cowgirl, the red-haired hoyden, the Vietnamese poet and the Las Vegas call girl. These poems offer a tasty buffet of the shy to sly, bold to cold, wary to wily women he has loved or for whom he has only longed. You will find yourself drawn back for second helpings."~ Ann Howells-Editor, Illya's Honey
