Dime Store Erotics

by Ann Townsend

Poetry. "Ann Townsend writes the romance of 'everyday' life in DIME STORE EROTICS but the exquisite act of her affection makes every minute a precipice, every detail an opening door—not into the dime store but out into the spinning original dimensions of her lyric consciousness. She is an intoxicating poet."—Carol Muske

Some lovely little scenes here. Beautifully written. I'd say you could just live in these lines, but they are so indicative of actual life that, well, we're already living in them.

Quiet and intense. Lovely.

The poem, "First Death," from this book is the poem that made me switch from Pre-Med to Poetry. I read the poem in an anthology and later bought the book. I didn't like all of the poems in the book - but a large majority of them really connected with me on a personal level.
