Candy: A Collection To Satisfy Your Sweetest Cravings, is an eclectic collection which ranges from the romantic to the taboo and from the intimate to the voyeuristic. With sensitivity, passion and at times humor, these poems capture the delights of sex, sexuality, love, lust and fantasy.

From the Introduction

...the gratification offered by the form of erotic poetry mirrors the gratification we may gain from its content. And so, we may admire the craft that went into the making of the poem, perhaps even dissect the technique, or we may, at the other extreme, find ourselves in a Pygmalion-like state of arousal, or a Narcissus-like state of narcosis. But above all, the erotic mirror that these poets have fashioned allows us to examine ourselves, our needs and our wants, our experiences and intentions, our minds and our bodies, in all their beauty, and in their unattractive aspects as well. In short, the mirror of Eros allows us to know ourselves, in all of our humanity.

-Lance Strate, author of Echoes and Reflections

Reviews

A wonderful celebration of sexual textasy.

-Robert Priest, author of Reading the Bible Backwards

Candy is better than sweet - it's a sensuous collection of metaphoric, metaphysical, pulsing, pounding, gentle, gossamer erotic poetry.

-Paul Levinson, author of 5 novels including The Plot to Save Socrates, and The Pixel Eye

Candy is heated and hardened, sugary foreplay for anybody in need of some sweetness.

-Jeanette Kantzalis, novelist and musician-songwriter for A Brokeheart Pro

In an age that hypes the erotic potential of new media, Candy is a reminder that language itself remains our principal instrument of desire.

-Joseph W. Slade, author of Pornography in America, the three volume reference work Pornography and Sexual Representation, and Thomas Pynchon (Writers for the 70's series)
