A chapbook of prose poems by the award-winning Barbara Cully. Excerpt: When we finally become ourselves, we become a swinging door, that gray book told me, that sand bank told me. When the boss is sleeping, everyone is sleeping, that gray book told me, that hurry bird told me. Thus we have some idea of time (a little past noon), and some idea of place (Playa la Mision), a little bit of heaven told me, an absolute independence told me.

When Sylvia Shom Um was writing the poems that would become this book, whe was embarking on a project that was at once monumentous, delicate, and affirming.  Sylvia herself was all these things, and it is our good fortune as readers that she remains tangibly so in the work that survives her. She brought to her project the double gift of a lasting poet: She had the language and the subject, the material and the power to transform it.  She told me that the poem "Sick" which begins the sequence specificly about her illness, recovery, and illness again, was a poem that crystallized what she wanted for her work.  Powerful in its specificity and its elliptical notations, this poem announces the distance and intimacy of all the poems in _The Rooted Heart_. --excerpted from Barbara Cully's introduction.

There are many kinds of power, used and unused, acknowledged or otherwise. Thus begins this powerful essay; Uses of the Erotic defines the power of the erotic, names the process by which women have been stripped of this power, and considers how women can reclaim it. Uses of the Erotic shines among Audre Lorde's powerful legacy of speeches and essays, and has influenced feminist thinking for more than 15 years. The false dichotomies that Lorde debunks persist in our cultural imagination: the separation of the erotic from the spiritual and political. Now, Kore Press brings this essay into stand-alone focus, reprinting it in a fine, handbound pamphlet illustrated with photographs by Tucson photographer Camille Bonzani. Designed by book artist Nancy Solomon, the essay is offset and letterpress printed in an edition of 1000.
