Victims of Desire
In this libido-increasing collection of erotic poems, Dale Champlin reminds us why, for centuries, writers have been fascinated and inspired by sex (and, yes, love…though the two aren’t always synonymous). A subject and skill that has, by and large, become a lost art in the twenty-first century. With Victims of Desire, Champlin forges her own literary rendition of Kama Sutra, and readers will surely become more learned in the practice as a result.
