Anaïs Nin – The Veiled Woman
There’s potential here, but erotica is hard to get right and something as basic as terminology can ruin it. Like here, when she constantly refers to genitals as “his/her sex”. That alone stopped me from enjoying it.

S. J. Warner – Poetica
I got myself a signed copy of Poetica at the Second City Signings – erotic poetry, what’s not to love? I don’t really read much erotica, but I was pleasantly surprised with the poems – they were in free verse, which is good because I hate traditional, rhyming poetry.
However, I also spotted a couple of typos, and the author used the word ‘nub‘ way too many times – possibly the least sexy word I’ve ever heard. But for what it was, it was worth the money I paid for it – you decide.
