Major word on 101 GREAT EROTIC POEMS

I have just finished reviewing an email I got from the poet, in which he gave me the master list of all poems to appear in his forthcoming volume

101 Great Erotic Poems

I am sure there will be tweaks. What I find remarkable is the number of works (marked with an asterisk*) that are previously unpublished works. Some I have not even been privy to.

Seriously, he sent me, under pain of death not to share, the new cycle "Bacchante" and I have to admit...I'm thunderstruck. It is like he let his sexual side grab the car keys and take the Lamborghini for a quick spin off a twisty mountain road...he's playing with fire. But I am happy to report it is the very best of fires he is playing with.

Here's the master list:

I count four (4) new cycles: Bacchante, Vignette, Frangrance of Your Flesh and Courtesan. It looks like he is taking this all the way this time.

May God have mercy on our sanity.
