Amazon.com Review
Pat Califia is well known as a sexual pioneer whose essays and fictions have encouraged lesbians to explore and discuss a wider range of erotic experience. In this book, her first volume of poetry, Califia gives voice--in the form of brief lyrics and more developed dramatic monologues--to the rebels and outlaws she has written about as a theorist. The women in these poems are tough, funny, often working class dykes who howl in anger, rage, and ecstasy about the power of sex, the sex of power, and not a few controversies between.
