Oh Canada! I can’t express how excited I am to tell you about “With a Rough Tongue: Femmes Write Porn,” an erotic anthology published by Arsenal Pulp Press. If I had my way, this year, every dyke would receive this collection in the mail, along with their copy of the most recent lesbian agenda.
Editors Amber Dawn and Trish Kelly have compiled an empowering collection of pieces that combine skilled writing with an honest look at lesbian desire. These stories question gender and sexuality in a way I haven’t seen in lesbian erotica before, yet manage to be sexy as hell.
One of my favorites was the first, Through Winter Sun by Suki Lee. I was immediately drawn in by the authors prose, whether she was writing about the “sweet oblivion” of winter snow as she drives, or the stranger’s head buried in her lap. I never found myself scanning through text looking for the good stuff, as I often do with erotica. I devoured every word, and like a good lover, it left me wanting more.
No matter where you fit in along the gender continuum, this collection deserves a spot on your nightstand. In my opinion, it’s the best thing to come out of Canada since Trivial Pursuit!
