Terrific Anthology

Highly enjoyable mix of prose and poetry. 52 diverse and well written pieces offering humor and erotica. I bought this book because it was discussed as recommended reading by the editor of the anthology `The Body of Love' by Tee A. Corinne. This is a keeper! Publisher's Note - A collection of stories and poetry portraying women's sexual experiences and feelings from childhood through adulthood From the publisher's website - if you kiss a redhead lick her ears & you'll hear crimson semitones; the sacred fires lit & attracting revellers to some dark hill & dancing, dancing till you fall exhausted against the old tree shivers/remembers bonfires - Donna McSkimming A feminist anthology that ranges widely across women's writing on sex. In fiction, poetry and experimental forms, feminist writers unveil a world of female sexual experience. The editors have chosen pieces that portray women's sexual experiences from youth to old age. The writers explore celibacy, lesbianism, heterosexuality and bisexuality but consistently return to the simple wonders of sensual awareness. `There is much to delight, simply because the writing is so good.' --DJ O'Hearn, Australian Book Review `Moments of Desire ... really delivers the goods.' --Jennifer Redford, City Life `Moments of Desire ... offers variety, surprise, a range of moods and tones and the inclusion of experiences not usually seen as her domain.' --Inez Baranay, Australian Book Review
