On Ebb Tide: poetic confessions
Author: Susy Lanteigne-Lyons
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0359938809
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
I am, like everyone else, flawed and forever learning. Much of what you will read was inspired by experiences gathered over the past several years. Some of the proceeding texts were written in moments of pain through bitter tears; other pieces were frantically written after the words in my head woke me from slumber, in the wee hours of the morning, demanding to be expelled onto paper; then there are the moments of extraordinary happiness that I was lucky enough to experience and share. Moments where I bathed in the joy and peace while soaking in every sensation so that I could, at a later date, revisit the memory and saver every detail while I hand chose each word to capture, express and share my experience...I am a work in progress. One battle at a time I am earning my strips; recording my experience�s; sharing my thoughts and ideas; and with my pen in hand, I am expressing my point of view, my way, through my eyes, giving voice to my thoughts, and acknowledging my truth.

The Art of Confession
Author: Christopher Grobe
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1479882089
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
"The Art of Confession tells the history of this cultural shift and of the movement it created in American art: confessionalism. Like realism or romanticism, confessionalism began in one art form, but soon pervaded them all: poetry and comedy in the 1950s and '60s, performance art in the '70s, theater in the '80s, television in the '90s, and online video and social media in the 2000s. Everywhere confessionalism went, it stood against autobiography, the art of the closed book. Instead of just publishing, these artists performed--with, around, and against the text of their lives." --

My Love Is a Beast
Author: Alexander Cheves
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780991378036
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Literary Nonfiction. How does the devout son of evangelical Christians, growing up dedicated to mission work in Africa, become one of America's leading sex columnists and a self-avowed slut committed to kink as his new religion? Across his debut book, MY LOVE IS A BEAST: CONFESSIONS, Alexander Cheves details his path from piousness to faithlessness, and his awakening to the saving power of hedonism. He tells intimate stories of what he sees as the sacred grace of pleasure as he embraces his life as a sex writer, worker, and activist. In stories richly lyrical, boldly erotic, and fearlessly honest, Cheves takes readers on a tour through Savannah, Atlanta, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York City. Along the way, he explores the darker corners of Queer culture and his own life, highlighting experiences most will have never considered. His rise to national popularity among LGBTQ+ writers gets balanced by his own struggles with and recovery from substance use--and his public embrace of kink and fetish as a belief system, way of life, and identity. In the end, Cheves writes with complete, even shocking, transparency and authenticity in the service of shattering sexual shame. Graphic and at times controversial, this book is sure to become a watershed moment among erotic memoirs.
