Lists with This Book. This book is not yet featured on Listopia. May 06, FantasyLiving rated it liked it Shelves: I mostly enjoyed this set of poems. At times it was slightly repetitive, but I think I understand why. If these were published individually, it would be important to include some parts as clarification of where the relationship was going, and where it began. Again, I have never studied poetry, so this was a new experience for me. Especially the type of poetry this was. The relationship between the Dominant and submissive came through very clearly, as well as the bursts of development within their relationship.

The progression worked well, taking out the repetition that I found slightly annoying but understand was necessary. This was an introduction to the lifestyle for the submissive, in a relationship where an experienced Dominant has fallen in love, and the submissive wants to train to serve him.

There are some very sweet moments, and it reads like the memories of some key developments for both people. For those interested in this type of poetry, and just getting into BDSM, I recommend this as something to be read in stages. It will be much more enjoyable that way. Jun 18, Jillian Verne rated it liked it. This book was not quite what I expected. It was not a collection of erotic poetry, rather a lyrically written story of one couple's journey into kink. It was at times romantic, at times erotic. I enjoyed the psychological journey the author charted for the reader, in particular, the male POV.

I would have liked to see more written about the fact that this story involves an interracial couple. I suppose that may not be relevant to their kink relationship, but I couldn't help but think 3. I suppose that may not be relevant to their kink relationship, but I couldn't help but think that exploring this aspect of their relationship would have added so much to their journey. I enjoyed the author's writing style. One criticism, there are many typos and grammatical errors, which I found distracting.

A Collection of Erotic Poetry, Book 1. The editor in me wanted to do Reviewed by Amy W Book provided by author Originally posted at Romancing the Book When I think of poetry, I get transported back to high school English class filled with sonnets and haikus.

The overall premise reminds me of a collection of erotic essays, but each chapter is connected to the previous one. There are no names used, but the book focuses on a man and a woman obviously in a BDSM relationship. The author uses graphic descriptions in setting the stage for various topics ranging from punishment to being collared.

To me, there is a lot of pride and joy communicated in the language used to tell the story of a Dominant and his submissive. Although this might not be my first choice of erotic reading material, the author presented a well-researched look into the BDSM lifestyle with plenty of heat added. Jan 23, Paul rated it really liked it. I received this book for a chance to review it. Rather than go with each work contained, I will do a basic and general review. Overall, I liked it. While I am confident that my reading was unbiased by personal attachments, neither can I speak with any confidence as to the emotions of either partner.

The general feeling was growth, and the tone was overwhelmingly positive. If ma I received this book for a chance to review it. If male dominant relationships are your tastes, I suspect you will enjoy this collection. Aug 22, Jacintha rated it it was amazing. Erotic Poetry for Dominants and Submissives , the first erotic poetry collection I ever read, whetted my appetite for more reads in this genre. Cara Downey's work here is a wonderful follow-up. While Lords uses the structure of haiku, Downey uses poetic prose. Downey's work reflects both perspectives of Dominant and submissive. Each first person narrative prose builds upon the previous.

What is even more delicious is the "call and response" -- the first piece is from the submissive's perspective while the next piece is from the Dominant, then followed by the submissive's viewpoint. Quite refreshing to see both perspectives. Very seductive, too, to read in first person and slip into another's skin and shoes.

Love Beyond Boundaries: A Collection of Erotic Poetry

Overall, a wonderful erotic treat! It gives insight that you get a better grasp on the relationship and people.

I don't find this often in other books. When I started the book I honestly did not know what to expect and I was very surprised and I liked it. The characters are wonderfully written and you get a glimpse at a female who is bored with her lifer and her purpose. She finds a man that can fulfill her needs. It's a great book to read first if you are starting this genre. Apr 15, Cassandra Brooker rated it it was amazing. It gives such insight that you get a better grasp on the relationship and bot people. Stone , and finally accidental appropriation. Editors like me often complain of reading lots of poems that sound the same, that share a similar form, tone, turn of phrase, even subject matter.

I took this up with Jo and an argument ensued, which ended up with Jo justifying her failure to cite Woodman in her exhibition by claiming that most of the new work going through the prestigious photo gallery where she works is derivative, so why pick on her? We should be robust about this. This poem in particular was likely plagiarised because it did actually win a prize and has what many might consider to be the hallmarks of a prize-winning poem.

Poetry and the boundaries of plagiarism

Why would anyone do that? Which to me suggests that part of the problem well, I think this is part of the problem anyway and all this is just extra evidence is that the personality of the poet as a human being is weighed too heavily in judgements. On another note, my blunder regarding not crediting David Langford was probably a good thing to happen to me.

BUT it is easy to get complacent. You certainly feel there is much of you and your personality in it. For me what differentiates amongst artists is integrity; being proud of inspiration — and the commercail art work seems to act as a foil to this; for example the reapproriation of black, femal, working class creativity — Amy Winehouse for example; proud of her links for example to the Specials; get what commercial credit did they recieve: Oh gosh, interesting developments — well the whole issue is perplexing.

I like your post. I know a poet from a war-torn region who was taken up by a v senior figure in UK poetry, who wanted to translate his poems. The central image from an unpublished poem of mine before I had a book turned up in a poem in a big magazine. My email poems came out sounding as if word for word from the originals, but I had changed them hugely — into blank verse, into stories, into a consistent voice, into a cohesive thing, into a sort of aspect of my own memoir.

Which bit is yours? What did you change and why? All the important questions raised by the work itself remain unanswered. I only discovered the link when he discussed it in Magma magazine. Maybe the difference is that most poets know the original and so a homage is instantly recognisable….

Even if it were true, it would be evidence of plagiarism, just a more subtle kind. The fact that he only changed the words that were absolutely necessary to make it all Exmoorish makes it unlikely that this was an early draft. But I have read the poems by Helen and Christian ….

People rip off the work of others for all kinds of reasons — and in the worlds of TV and advertising, where I have occasionally worked, it is carried out on an industrial scale and there can be serious financial and career implications for artists who are plagiarised at that level; Bridget Riley suffered greatly from this in the s. They do it because they want to appear interesting as people.

Anyone with a pencil can be a poet, anyone with a phone in their camera can be a photographer; but not everyone can write a good poem or make a decent photo. Well this is awkward — Christian Ward found to have done it again: You are commenting using your WordPress.
