From Pink Bows to Red Stilettos

Xia Devore’s From Pink Bows to Red Stilettos, published March 2013, is a really quite extraordinary collection of poems. The language is explicit and erotic, pornographic and poetic… There’s a line in the Preface that describes the character of the poet evoked by the poetry:

From Pink Bows to Red Stilettos proves that a woman’s sexual provocative nature is nothing to take lightly and that a sweet little girl can grow up to have a burning tigress nature.

Yes, these poems were written by a burning tigress:

Fuck!!! Damn!!! This shit is so good!!!
He pumps that wood
As no other could
I scream his name
Oh yes… I bet the neighbors know his name
I have no shame
And that’s tame. Xia’s poetry is raw and wild. (And beautiful – read Live Instrumentation and judge for yourself.) I can’t believe what I’m reading. I love it.
