Just finished First Fig by Edna St. Vincent Milay:
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends—
It gives a lovely light!By at least one account, this poem was written about a threesome in which Milay was laid at both ends by a couple of male members. I’m sure it was a lovely light . . .

Okay, so Mr. Orgy, I fancy myself a bit of a poet…after looking through a myriad of dissections on this poem, I’ve yet to encounter anyone who agrees with you. That isn’t to say you’re wrong–poetry is open to interpretation, of course. So I’m interested–can you take me, line by line, down the delicious path of your mind and tell me how you see…[Read more]

The timing of the poem corresponded with a well documented threesome between Ms. Millay, the future critic Edmund Wilson and John Pearle Bishop from Vanity Fair. One took the top and one took the bottom — Ms. Millay becomes the candle and the rest is history.

We’ll agree to disagree. It may very well be a reconstruction of the threesome, but even in metaphor, one can’t take things too literally, wouldn’t you agree? A bit “on the nose” for my taste.

A New Constellation
by Marge PiercyWe go intertwined, him and you
and me, her and him, you and her,
each the center of our own circle
of attraction and compulsion and gravity
What a constellation we make: I call it
the Matrix. I call it the dancing
family. I call it wheels inside wheels.
Ezekial did not know he was seeing
the pattern for…[Read more] -

Here on Earth by Alice Hoffman
In case lake cannot find the other book, here is another suggestion.
“She was only fourteen, but she knew what she wanted. She wanted him to look at her that way…….That was when she began to wonder if the scent of sulfur wasn’t fury but desire, and if perhaps, it might not be rising from her own skin. She’ll…[Read more]

I’d recommend the Audio Book on this one. All dialogue novel on the idea of Deception in intimate sexual relationships and intimate literary relationships (novelist and reader).

Great letter between Anais Nin and Henry Miller, two of my favorite erotic writers:
I love this quote:
“You are right, in one sense, when you speak of honesty. An effort, anyway, with the usual human or feminine retractions. To retreat is not feminine, male, or trickery. It is a terror before utter destruction. What we analyze inexorably, w…[Read more]

James Baldwin’s Another Country….has some of the best descriptions of both homosexual and heterosexual sex I’ve ever read. Not especially graphic, but beautifully written.
