Love and Fck Poems (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Sexually repressed, separated Greek Girl on a rampage. There's no love here just f--ks. But is she f--king him or f--king herself? Initially a self-published zine, which sold out repeatedly, Love and F--k Poems became a revamped Deluxe Edition book, and went on to be an Australian poetry bestseller, also translated into Greek. Love and F--k Poems continues to shock, captivate and enthrall with this special ten-year anniversary edition, which incorporates Koraly's original zine drawings. A trailblazing story told through poetry of migrant culture, divorce, repression, dating, relationships, love, and the maddening scurry to find the sexual self.

"I am so obsessed with Koraly. Her work is disarming, emotionally fearless and she sounds like nobody else alive. I will read her poetry forever."

- Hera Lindsay Bird, bestselling poet, Pamper Me to Hell and Back

"Koraly Dimitriadis is a poet of the finest balance. She writes with the tenderness of a loving hand and a fist that smashes oppression." - Tony Birch, bestselling author, White Girl, and Boisbouvier Chair in Australian Literature

"An emotional self-examination with a hand-mirror."

- AU Review

"One of the brightest stars in the new poetry scene…A traditionalist's nightmare…searingly honest explorations of life…"

- Junkee

"A voice that literally demands to be heard."

- Overland Literary Journal

"Love and F--k Poems is raw, audacious and courageous. Bravo!"

- Christos Tsiolkas, award-winning author, The Slap.

"Wow. Dimitriadis pulls no punches here. This is armed-missile poetry."

- Kate Holden, award-winning author, In my Skin

"Blood, Fire, Love & Passion; scramble! Direct hit."

- TT.O., award-winning poet, 24 Hours

"The kind of honesty that can only come about after being wound-up, held writhing, repressed and silenced"

- Disclaimer Magazine (UK)

"A gutsy, defiant firecracker of a chapbook which demands to be read angrily out loud after half a bottle of red…An unashamed poetic celebration of one woman's liberation from the chains of marital convention, sexual repression, and cultural obligation."

- Maxine Beneba Clarke, award-winning author, The Hate Race
