Erotic poetry

On the journey to intimacy, we explore our relationship with the homely and exotic, safety and risk, purity and sin, and many other concepts that shape our view of the world. We also examine the most vulnerable corners of our personalities. This day workshop offers instruction on writing poetry that invites readers to contemplate their erotic interior lives.
