Touching Fire: Erotic Writings by Women, edited by Louise Thornton, Jan
Sturtevant, Amber Coverdale Sumrall.
Synopsis:
This collection of the erotic in women's lives contains works by Margaret
Atwood, Tess Gallagher, Adrienne Rich, Alice Munro, Maxine Kumin, Sharon
Olds and a host of other accomplished and talented women writers.
A mixture of prose and poetry, TOUCHING FIRE is unlike any other collection.
It maintains a high level of literary quality while reflecting each author's
unique blend of erotic sensibility. Together with their own contributions,
the editors have carefully selected writings that represent the full range
of feminine experience spanning childhood to middle age.
TOUCHING FIRE is a joyous, provocative salute to the life-affirming
imagination. It says yes to sensuality, desire and passion. It reveals the
essential role eros plays in women's lives. From the stirrings of the senses
to the "fiery" and restorative merging with the loved one, this anthology
brings women's emotional and physical drives sharply into focus.
TOUCHING FIRE comes with an introduction which examines contemporary issues
and attitudes associated with female eroticism: love, sex, the emotions,
power and pornography. It also provides a sensitive and balanced view of the
stories and poems and their place in the volume.
Enjoy!
Donna
