Verbal Penetration: Punany Poets (My review)

This book was everything I expected and more. I purchased this book as a Christmas gift for someone else but after I read some of it, I have decided to order a copy for myself. I will continue to purchase any book that has been written by this author and they now have a life long fan.

Have You Had Your Punany Today?

Jessica Holter, founder of the Punany Poets invites readers to vicariously partake in erotic adventures that are sometimes sexy and soft, at other times, edgy and gripping. Interspersed between the pages of poetry and short stories, are jolting black pages that contain serious sex education and social commentary. This unique compilation is included in the Zane Presents series and rightly so. While I enjoyed every single poem, some were so profound, I had to close the book to take a few moments to absorb the full meaning of the words penned by the incredibly brilliant, Ms. Holter. Lady's Room is one of the many thought-provokng pieces, Pussy Talk is both, whimsical and sensual. I didn't read Verbal Penetration in any specific order, I opened the book at random places and was always rewarded with juicy material. I highly recommend Verbal Penetration; it's a must have, so make sure you get some punany right away!

Verbal Penetration

Those familiar with the Real Sex series on HBO, will remember the airing of The Punany Poets, which gave a glimpse into the creativity behind a group of African-American poets who perform erotic poetry with a safe-sex message. VERBAL PENETRATION is the offering of over 90 poems extolling messages of eroticism, safety, pain, hurt and much more. The Punany Poets offer poetry of varying styles, but all are understandable. With such a voluminous presentation, it was hard to choose the poems I liked most. A few stood out because their stories were filled with emotional depth such as "Daddy Sam", "Hood Wife" and "Daddy's Little Girl". "Daddy's Little Girl" was one of my absolute favorites because it shares how a father wants forgiveness from a daughter he hurt, and how she invites him to seek salvation elsewhere. A few other poems were stand outs but due to their racy titles I will not mention them, but know VERBAL PENETRATION covers sexuality and all the ranges, from abuse to the beauty of eroticism. Also, juxtaposed are pages similar to public service announcements about safe-sex, statistics, HIV/AIDS and even definitions for sexual terms. VERBAL PENETRATION is to be read with a slow, steady pace to insure readers will garner the message the poet is trying to convey. Besides the sexy poetry there is an educational factor which enhances the collection. With such a large number of poems there will be poems you like and some you won't, but the overall message will grab your attention as you leisurely read this compilation.

Punany Poetry is Educational as Well as Erotic Fruit for the Mind and Body

Wow! The Punany Poets, Verbal Penetration by Jessica Holter really took me by surprise. I remember seeing a segment of this on HBO's Real Sex and did not remember hearing about the roots of this erotic poetry, which involved coming to fruition as an educational as well as erotic tool to teach about AIDS awareness as a result of the death of rapper, Easy E; so I was really surprised while reading through this book. Usually when I think Erotica--I am not thinking sex education. The informational facts laced in between the erotic poetry and short stories is done in very tasteful fashion. I found myself taken on the highs of the erotic words that leapt from the pages--even reading them aloud at times, but then felt grounded again and given a reality check and a dose of reality on the pages that have the informational sexual health facts that are printed in bold. These words were typed in stark contrast from the poetry and story writing and it literally leapt off of the pages to grab my attention and definitely educated me. I say job well done. I am really glad to have this as an addition to my library and highly recommend it to others. Sex education, in my opinion, is key and what a way to combine it with erotica. It gets kudos from me.
