Coming Together: Robert Buckley
There are few people I can point to and honestly say: ‘This person taught me how to write”. There is a good chance that you haven’t heard of Robert Buckley and, if you enjoy good erotic writing, that’s a damn shame because Bob is a masterful erotic writer with a voice like no one else. […]
Rock of Ages
Did you cry for me the way I cried for him? Did you wait wretched, fretting, one moment damning me as a heartless bitch who couldn’t spare you a single kind word in a day, then melting as one sweet thought followed another, falling around your ears like water lily petals? This desperate chain and […]
Skin Zipper
On certain days I go hunting for that elusive zipper that will, once found, allow me to dispense with my skin. Slough it off like a snake whose body has grown too big to move, to breath skin too tight to live in. Relieve myself of these unreliable lungs this rusty clockwork heart of nostrils […]
Deserts by Interzone
My twitterfriend @Interzone_Inc is an electronic music composer from Sweden. His work is dark and abstract and ambient. He has done me the honour of setting some of my smaller flash pieces to music. These comprise part of an album called ‘Deserts‘ which is available for download free at the Interzone Inc Site. These aren’t […]
Entrances and Exits
This hiccup of manners this melting ice-knife buried in my chest I’m a cartoon mishap. Oh, look! I’m leaking through the cardboard cutout. A plywood caricature with a hole where the face should be. A photo op for lovers on jolly holidays by worn seaside resorts. How is it that I have gone from […]
#Inscribe – Gogyohkas for #fuckmefriday
stigmata of lust plumps the tissues inscribes my skin with the wretched stink of need. tattooed skin invisible verses in your fingertip’s wake embossed letters rise secrets are inscribed. the crenulations on my cerebellum Braille for the brave are inscribed by blind lovers with careful fingers. #fuckmefriday is a twitter group led by @AislingWeaver […]
#ladypornday – Subject/Object of Desire
I wasn’t invited to contribute to #ladypornday by @rabbitwhite, but I thought I’d be obnoxious and go for it anyway. __________________________ They say one man’s meat is another man’s poison. I say I hate porn, except for the porn that gets me off. It took me a long time to begin to understand the mechanism […]
Conceiving of the unconceived – Hetero Women’s Porn
My last post generated some very interesting discussions on twitter. It is clear that, for many women, what is currently available to them in the market is adequate. There are many heterosexual women who are very happy to consume porn made for men. There are also lots of women who find porn made for gay […]
#LadyPornDay and The Male Gaze
I went on a hunt today for porn for heterosexual women. And I have to tell you, I was pretty disappointed by what I found. I’m not sure whether I’m just a very odd woman, or there is a conspiracy out there bent on denying me what I want, but either way, it’s a desert […]
Portrait of an Artist as Dilettante
You know I’m a modernist. I believe that creative product is forged out of effort, self-evisceration and the work that has gone before in equal measures. Something Hazel Dooney wrote on her blog has triggered a desire to rant. I’m tired of meeting people who suddenly ‘decide’ to be writers, artists, photographers or musicians and […]
