Seven Hundred Kisses: A Yellow Silk Book of Erotic Writing

by Lily Pond

Book Overview

Over the past decade, publisher and editor Lily Pond has established Yellow Silk: Journal of Erotic Arts as the premier source of sensual literature as serious, hilarious, joyful and real as sexual passion itself. Soliciting works from a wide range of well-known authors and nurturing the talents of new writers, Pond is famous for presenting writings that evoke Eros, not erotica cliches. Now the popular 15-year-old journal of international erotic arts makes its debut as an annual book. Seven Hundred Kisses features the magazine's trademark mix of new and established writers, including Tobias Wolf, Jane Smiley, Carlos Maso, Dorothy Allison, Walter Mosely and many others. A night-table necessity, this is writing that starts at the toes and works its way slowly, lingeringly and deliciously up to the brain, leaving no erogenous zone untouched

Great erotica

Lily Pond really set the stage for the blooming market of solid literary erotica in America. The Yellow Silk anthologies are stunningly original and years before their time. I love the opening story of Seven Hundred Kisses--a man takes care of a woman's varied and complicated farm menagerie while she's away on a business trip. It's not graphic (though many stories and poems in this anthology are) but it exemplifies how love makes us grow and change in ways we never expected. These stories and poems are quirky, hot, and well-written. Pond has a keen sense of the adventurous and the genuine and this book is well worth the price of admission.
