The Poetry of Sex by Sophie Hannah

2.0

Sophie Hannah, best known for her standalone psychological crime novels and the new Agatha Christie stories ( I really do enjoy them ) created this poetry anthology in 2014. There's something for everyone here. It rests heavily on English and American poetry. You have Whitman, D H Lawrence ( enjoyed the poem Figs ), Dickinson, Auden, etc. But I was disappointed with just one Ovid and one Petronius selection. It's sadly lacking in more poetry translations because poetry transcends all languages and cultures. If you want to have a humorous and fun ride through poetry and discover some new poets this one is for you but is no way a vivid collection.
