Reviews

[Ace Boggess · Rating 5 out of 5]

Alexis Rhone Fancher writes the most brutally honest poetry out there. It's equally erotic and confessional, depicting the life (especially the sex life) of the poems' narrators in glory and debasement, passion and compulsion. All the good and all the bad merge into a poetic that is entirely Fancher's. No one else comes close. This book also has the added benefit of sharing some of Fancher's unique photography, which humanizes the world her poems inhabit. These are not erotic photos, but everyday scenes caught with an artist's careful eye. This a wonderful book. Every book Fancher writes is better than the last. Buy this one.
