Funny and insightful; this book is a dive into what is traditionally faux pas in more contemporary culture: sexuality and sex. Like in Stiff, Roach‘s use of citation and footnote are the exact interjection on heavy handed topic. More so than her previous works, Roach is not afraid to interject herself into the study of which she writes when no subject is available. This dedication shows through the novel, and interjects humor throughout.

“Rare is the man who can share Napoleon‘s steadfast ardor in savoring a woman‘s cassolette (the French word for perfume box and used colloquially to describe a woman‘s unique scent; the sum total of her effluvia; her aromatic signature) and exult, free of prejudice, in the powerful rush of pheromones.

Don‘t wash, I‘m coming home!” (Napoleon to Josephine, on his way back to Paris from the front.)”

Picked this up on a whim off the new nonfiction shelf at the library. Honestly engrossing af cause she includes real life anecdotes from her friends, clients, and her own life. Even if you're having great sex, worth reading. Pretty much everyone could stand to get better at communicating about sex in our puritanical ass society.

The scuppernong, used as a descriptor in this evocative poem, is my choice for #weirdwordsWednesday. The poem “When I Call Your Name” almost makes me blush just reading it, let alone posting about it. Its got such an open and honest depiction of sexual longing which is quite beautiful. And I couldn‘t not post about such a fun and evocatively descriptive word.

From the poem “Reading Maps: One.”
“We locate forbidden places, the kind marked dangerous, swamp, unknown territory on the old charts. We plot change. We love one another. Our bodies become lodestones to the future. We imagine a place not marked yet on any map. Between us words tremble and veer, like the iron needle of a compass, a guide to what we are making real.”
RIP Minnie Bruce Pratt
