I consider myself a deeply sexual woman, so to read someone writing this honestly, this openly about sexual pleasure is something I thoroughly enjoy. “I have to hunker / my cunt close to the earth, / this little pendulum of mine / ringing, ringing, ringing” (25). The descriptions of orgasm are truly incredible. “Something like water / broke free the prayer / of the heart / the grief of the hands” (19) “an alphabet of limbs / ran urgently / nudged loose a pebble / a pearl / a noose undoing its greed” (19). One thing I love about this book is that it doesn’t back away from prioritizing a woman’s pleasure.

Word choice, the coupling of images, the metaphors and similes all outline an experience of love, of sexual expression, and of pleasure. “The fierce obsidian of the tongue in me” (4) “The rainforest disaster, nuclear threat in me” (4) I am the memory that circles your bednights, / that tugs you taut as moon tugs ocean” (5). The imagery she offers, the insight into each physical and emotional sensation, are striking and visceral. About Loose Woman A candid, sexy and wonderfully mood-strewn collection of poetry that celebrates the female aspects of love, from the reflective to the overtly erotic.
