Oh god, what to say? Actually, a funny review (it had me laughing a
number of times, which is not what erotic poetry should do), & full of
warnings, of which this is perhaps the most pertinent: 'Theme-based
anthologies have the unintended effect of making poets seem trapped by
their subjects: there is no more variation among poets in this book
than there would be in a book called, for example, “The Best American
Patriotic Poems.” '
As well, the little quote reminded me why I never read Dana Goia.
