Seven Hundred Kisses: A Yellow Silk Book of Erotic Writing

Rating:
Summary: Great erotica
Review: Lily Pond really set the stage for the blooming market of solid literary erotica in America. The Yellow Silk anthologies are stunningly original and years before their time. I love the opening story of Seven Hundred Kisses--a man takes care of a woman's varied and complicated farm menagerie while she's away on a business trip. It's not graphic (though many stories and poems in this anthology are) but it exemplifies how love makes us grow and change in ways we never expected. These stories and poems are quirky, hot, and well-written. Pond has a keen sense of the adventurous and the genuine and this book is well worth the price of admission.

Summary: Lily has a winner
Review: Ok I am biased. I was first introduced to Ms Pond in the late 80's by Dr Michael Krasny who is on KQED-FM in San Francisco. I quickly went out and bought her magazine YELLOW SILK and was hooked. If the writing in her magazine and now this AWESOME book does not grab you then you are emotinally and sensually dead. The paintings in her magazine hooked me from day one.

Lily has a gift for attracting the best writers. Where Hustler is in your face (no I am not anti-adult material) Seven Hundred Kisses; A Yellow Silk Book of Erotic Writing. seduces your mind body and soul. Lily knows that the brain is the major sex organ and doesn't insult her readers. Maybe being a woman (no I am NOT a male basher) she also realizes that the reader needs great visualization of the brain as well. It takes a gifted writer to tease ones sensual senses.

The book is a wonderful gift to read in bed either alone or aloud to ones lover. Call it literary foreplay.
