Circling Round Eros + 2 Arlene Corwin

b>Circling Round Eros + 2 is for the mature: erotic poetry for the mature. Of all the collections I have in my computer, this might have been the last to publish. But the more I thought about it, the more enticing the idea became. After all, I was moved to write the stuff. Why hide it?

A short collection, it says all I have observed so far, about the act, the actions, the motivations, the dynamics of making love after the age of, say, thirty. No, forty. No, fifty. No. sixty. Well, seventy!

Coffee Book honors the heightened creative effects of coffee. I thought of sending Coffee Book to the coffee industry. Surely they would appreciate the homage, I thought. Then I thought better of it. However, every coffee drinker will appreciate it, identify with effects that can vary from the gymnastically, creatively sublime to the exhausting.

Circling Round Baths is a collection composed, inspired and written down on dripping paper, sullied, sodden, sopping notebooks, stripes of ballpoint ink made transparent by hands too impatient to be dried, the mind too impulsive to have towel ready by the side. It honors baths.
