Erotic and wry, the poems in this collection are a firsthand tour through the world of a modern woman for whom desire is no longer a dirty word. The poet explores where the sensual woman has been and where she is going—a journey that belies the complex voices that inherit the lines of the poems, presenting both the confidence and vulnerability of sexually-empowered women who are put in the position of second-guessing their escape from stereotypes and societal expectations. Exploitation becomes a badge of honor for the women of the poems, with acerbic humor and commentary that entertain but strike an emotional resonance nonetheless.
