I got this book about a decade ago in college at a $1 book sale and just discovered it while cleaning out my old bookshelves. I’m not really sure what to make of it, it’s a mix of light funny poems and also some darker and more serious ones.

ObDisclosure: the collection includes my poem "Because It Makes Me Ha--", and the editors have published five other poems of mine (four at the No Tell site, and one in the second Bedside Guide). That said, it's a fun and frisky gathering -- let yourself be lured in with the likes of Jill Essbaum's "On Reading Poorly Transcribed Erotica." :-)

Lots of good stuff in here (but reading the Contributor Notes gave me a bit of an inferiority complex).

I've been feeling quite lusty lately (though probably not discreet enough), so this is an exciting book to be reading right now.
