In this brilliant collection of 18 erotic poems, LoSchiavo stuns with her depiction of romantic and erotic and the vagaries of love-making.
The emotional snapshots of the young Italian protagonist feel overly familiar in “Pinch Kisses Ruined Me for Romance”. The unreservedly erotic “Undressing the Sky” offers its protagonist’s unapologetic perspective on the breadth of love-making. Sensually sweet “Invitation to a Kiss” explores the notions of many ways of kissing. The reader experiences the exhilarating roller coaster of love-making, as the protagonist traverses the rocky road of sadistic sex in the darkly sensual Petrarchan sonnet “My Dominatrix”.
LoSchiavo has crafted a stunning collection from a series of everyday sensual adventures by delicately conveying her protagonists’ apprehensions, wants, and anticipations over sex. Throughout, LoSchiavo’s descriptive eye lends beauty and authenticity to this deep exploration of sensuality.
This is a magnificent collection.

"Concupiscent Consumption" touches the subject of youthful eroticism with sensitive yet suggestive poetic reconstructions that will touch your heart while bringing back the memories of those early days of amatory skirmishes, triumphs and disasters.

LindaAnn LoSchiavo’s Concupiscent Consumption should be read with a glass of wine in hand and while treating yourself to a luscious charcuterie board of succulent grapes and delectable cheeses. Her work is full of sexual stances curled around well crafted stanzas.
