Dirty Poole was an excellent slice of the life of a queer icon whose films shattered records and ignited the silver screen with thought provoking eroticism. I really enjoyed reading about Wakefield Poole’s early days and was shocked to learn how his career started as a dancer, eventually catapulting him onto Broadway and choreography before he took a left turn and landed in the porn industry. Poole shares an unflinching look at his life that is sometimes devastating, particularly in the last third of the memoir. Even so, I’m so happy I was able to learn so much about this man and the influence his movies had on queer culture in the 70s and beyond.
