Released in 2001
Intimate
Kisses: The Poetry of Sexual Pleasure edited by Wendy Maltz
(New World Library, 2001, ISBN 1-57731-133-7, hardback, $18.00)
Foreword by Thomas Moore. Intimate Kisses is an erotic, yet sensitive,
collection of poems that describe sexual pleasure based on intimacy.
This anthology takes a fresh look at sexual enjoyment, through some
of the richest, most penetrating poetry ever written. Included in
this anthology are 120 poems by such renowned poets as Marge Piercy,
Emily Dickinson, Robert Browning, Rumi, Nikki Giovanni, Sharon Olds,
Octavio Paz, Molly Peacock, Anne Sexton, Dorianne Laux, Kenneth
Rexroth, Jane Hirshfield, Galway Kinnell, and W.S. Merwin, as well
as by dozens of newer voices. A full-range of sexual pleasure is
revealed, as the poems explore different aspects of sexual enjoyment;
from anticipating intimacy, through experience, to the pleasure
of reflecting back on satisfying sexual times together. These poems
provide an excellent way to turn up the heat in a romance. Michael
Grosso's words: "Nothing is sexier than the naked mind-nothing more
seductive than the inventive imagination."

| Praise
for Intimate Kisses: "I am grateful beyond
expression for Wendy Maltz's achievement. It gives me hope by calling
on one of the more significant gifts of sexuality--the sensuous pleasure
of well-selected, well-mated words."
--from
the foreword by Thomas Moore
author of Care of the Soul and The Soul of Sex
"I have
bookmarked half the poems in this book! There is a poem for every mood,
every sesibility. These poets help you ponder your own feelings about
sexuality and relationships--and read deeper and more truthfull into how
you feel about what you have, and haven't, experienced. Reading this book
was a total pleasure."
--Dr.
Pepper Schwartz, Ph.D.
Professor of Sociology, University of Washington, author of The Great
Sex Weekend
"These poems illustrate
how rewarding sexual interaction is when a conscious connection exists
between one's heart, one's genitals, and one's lover. Sex that is enjoyable
on many levels catalyzes personal energy and aliveness. It leaves us feeling
relaxed in mind and body, as well as content in spirit."

the introduction by Wendy Maltz
