The Emma Press Anthology of Mildly Erotic Verse skips the mechanics and dives straight into the emotional core of sex. We see lovers imagined as heroes and hares; describing what they want in jawdropping detail (or maybe with no words at all); meeting at swimming pools, sinking into baths and magic boxes. They wonder about lost knickers, worry about caravans, and – sometimes – find themselves transformed.
Nineteen published and unpublished poets from across the world sketch portraits of intimacy, desire, romance and sex in twenty-three exquisite poems, accompanied by illustrations from Emma Wright. The book is edited by Emma Wright and Newdigate Prize-winning poet Rachel Piercey.
With poems from Julia Bird, Mel Denham, Joy Donnell, Hugh Dunkerley, Kirsten Irving, Amy Key, Anja Konig, Ikhda Ayuning Maharsi, Julie Mullen, Richard O'Brien, Emma Reay, Kristen Roberts, Jacqueline Saphra, Lawrence Schimel, Stephen Sexton, Jon Stone, Sara-Mae Tuson, Ruth Wiggins and Jerrold Yam.
"This anthology of Mildly Erotic Verse is immensely enjoyable: a collection that can be dipped in and out of when one is need of distraction and diversion, rather than the physical relief that accompanies one-handed reads. Highly recommended." – Alisande Fitzsimmons, For Books' Sake
