"I wish I had read this 20 years ago. I wish everyone I’ve ever dated had read this. The sheer amount of ignorance, shaming, misinformation, denial, and abuse around women’s sexual pleasure is so prevalent is undeniably systemic. The social, medical, cultural, and religious systems have worked to keep women from understanding and finding their own pleasure. Women perpetuate it nearly as much as men." — May 29, 2025 10:01AM

"I’m loving the tension between the two; the physicality of their interactions telling us more than some droning inner monolog. I love the weather and the water.

I could stand for some better descriptions of the characters and settings, not an excessive amount, but they’re so generic most of the time, leaving all of the details up to the reader’s imagination, that the characters feel fake and without form." — Mar 23, 2025 07:41AM

Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!) Goodreads honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg “God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.” —Anne Sexton On Clouds – “…what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about…” —Yevgeny Zamyatin “If the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
