Love: Bizarre

Description:

Written mostly by Herman Dacian, with two contributions by Tony Arden (both authors using pseudonyms), the collection examines a sex relationship in which various sm aspects - typical of the leather and bdsm international community of the late 20th century - appear. Sometimes poems assume a visual form that hints at one of those "aspects". Sex is seen as a thrilling and deep form of mutual understanding and sharing which might - perhaps - lead to psychological and sentimental involvement, or might simply remain excitement and fun, in any case consensual and devoid of any real aggressiveness. .
