Erotikon: Poems

How do we discover our deepest desires, those that at once elude and define us? In Erotikon, award-winning poet Susan Mitchell invites us to make that discovery -- and in the process, to understand our true selves. In language both staggeringly beautiful and wonderfully mischevious, Mitchell explores the primal, transformative power of our sexual appetites. Drawing us in like a lover through her sensual world, she moves from seduction to surrender to symbiosis and the ultimate communion we long for in our lives on earth.
