This review is from: Women Who Hate Me (Paperback)
Terrific writing very accessible to the reader whose first or second choice in reading is not poetry. A wide range of emotions and subjects I thought several of the poems were lovely.
I bought this book because the author's books `Skin' and `Trash' are spotlighted in the anthologies `Courting Pleasure' and `Lovers: love and sex stories' by Tee A. Corinne. I enjoyed them both tremendously and sought out this book.
The 1983 edition is Illustrated by Laurie McLaughlin.
From the publisher's website - Razor sharp, angry, and full of passion, Dorothy Allison stands her ground and refuses to leave any of the hard stuff behind. Whether writing about her dirt-poor Southern childhood, its brutalities and its love, or her lesbian lust--her outlaw sexuality--her poetry is cheeky, touching, and on target as she speaks the truth to the women she loves.
