Lips oh Love My Love
Joyce Heal
Joyce Heal delights us with another round of her gorgeous and evocative poetry, described by Nance Flipp as “truly the only poems that get me horny enough to wank.”
Especially pertinent is the opening poem, “Lick me with thine, no matter from where you hence”, exploring Joyce’s relationship with a young French mute she met on holiday in Lesvos.
“…from the water she came,
near to Sappho’s pendulous stone,
her head held high,
her body fit for a throne,
I cried for her, “come be near me”
oh little mute,
She heard nil from my mouth,
of course, her was deaf as fuck innit….”
The Changing Room
Deb Baker
Deb Baker sprang into the lesbian consciousness with her first gripping non fiction work, “Walk You Down the Aisle”, a light hearted look at hidden romances of several hundred women working in large supermarkets.
The book, base don interviews was made into a film starring Charlize Theron as an embittered check out operator who snitches on a couple she catches kissing in the meat fridge.
This work is a departure, examining the history professional tennis player, Jeane-Anne Stump, who played under the name Reg Nark for 34 years, winning Wimbeldon 3 times.
Revealing interviews reveal more than has ever previously been revealed.
The Feel of Horsehair on my Thighs.
Carol Nink
Carol Nink is one of the most talented writers on the scene today.
Her first novel, “Brandy sauce Down My Front” won her the “Whtifree Prize for Young Literature” in 2003 and with this work she secures her place as a documentarist of the common post modernist morbid obsession with wealth above all else.
She manages to capture Mohammed, the 35 year old banker, the protagonist of the piece in such startling detail that one can easily forget that the book was written by a 9 year old.
That Lonely Cake
Mona Tangy
Mona Tangy’s last offering, “That Weedy Little Minger”, an anthology of break up stories, shocked the literary wolrd when Baptists chose it as their theme book in the 1999 “Burn-a-book-athon” held in Diqueville Kansas.
Mona, attended dressed as a nun and watched as thousands of copies of her books were burned by Baptists, as they went up in flames she stripped off and announced who she was.
She was chased 13 miles into the next state by marauding Baptists who have now issued their version of a fatwa.
All Woman
Sally La Pop
Sally La Pop came to prominence with her first novel of poems, 1 Line a Day, a book containing 1 poem written line by line each day over the year that Sally was learning to scuba dive.
This work is a certain departure but is sure to please. Sally goes undercover as a circus strongman and uncovers a world of gentleness in the face of strength.
