Description

Yes, Erotica is Indigenous!

What is Indigenous erotica? It’s about the loving, sexual, ‘dirty,’ outrageous, and ribald intimacies of humanity and sexuality that we all crave. It shows us as we are: people who love each other, who fall in love and out of love, who have lovers, who make love, have sex, break hearts, get our own hearts broken, who have beautiful bodies. It’s about all of the crazy, poignant, obscene, absurd things we do just to taste, touch, enjoy, and enter another.

Without Reservation. Go ahead, sneak a peek…

An international collection of stories and poetry by: Kateri Akiwenzie-Damm, Maria Campbell, Chrystos, Patricia Grace, Basil Johnston, Randy Lundy, Daniel David Moses, Gregory Scofield, Richard Van Camp… and many more!

Excerpts from Without Reservation:

“…my whole abundant self
curling fingers in his hair
while he nudges and strokes
the earth of me weightless…”
—”Ochim – His Kiss” by Gregory Scofield

“Or what is love? There is the love that you both know, where excited feelings make your skins tingle and the black centres of your eyes enlarge, as though you let each other into your selves through your eyes.”
—”Cousins (Excerpt)” by Patricia Grace

“I had thought to be immune to love, but which of us is ever that? My brother, a case in point. He was born dark-lashed and honey-skinned and all the little white nurses sighing for him before his first hour was up. He’s a man now, and walks down the street as all men, black or white, must do; it’s not his fault that hearts shatter as he passes. …”
—”let me tell you what I want” by Melissa Lucashenko

“if I ever needed you
the silver and rain
ever needed you
and once again i said
i needed you all through the nite
the earth and stars and earth start again
all through the nite if i ever said
i needed you all night long
and laid down my song and
i laid down my song for you…”
—”silver and rain” by Wayne Keon
