In her search for positive, healthy sexual images to help her in her
practice, renowned sex therapist and author Wendy Maltz solicited and
sought out “poems that inspire and celebrate healthy sexual intimacy;
poems in which heart connection was at the core of the sexual
experience.” In reviewing more than 1,500 submissions, she asked, “Does
this poem represent mutual caring and desire? Do the partners relate as
equals, respecting each other as separate individuals? Is there a sense
of emotional trust and honesty? Are the sexual interactions assumed to
be safe from emotional and physical harm? Does the poem celebrate
sensual pleasures?”
The result is a remarkable anthology of intimate, emotionally explicit,
yet accessible poetry, representing new voices as well as the most
revered contemporary poets. Culled from classic works of poetry,
literary and erotica journals, and unpublished poetry,
Passionate Hearts
celebrates the joys of sexual connection and expression throughout the
life of a relationship, from early courtship to mature love. These poems
awaken desire and reveal the mysterious power and beauty of sexual
sharing.
Contributing poets include:
gary soto, pablo neruda, sharon olds, marge piercy, tess gallagher, e.e.
cummings, molly peacock, raymond carver, galway kinnell, sara teasdale,
david steinberg, robert wrigley, dorianne laux, olga broumas, and more
