Me again, and another pamphlet that might possibly be of interest to a few of you: http://www.flarestackpoets.co.uk/page12.htm Subtitled 'Poems of desire', Instinct contains 24 pages of poems that were written over 25 years. Here is erotic poetry for the lonely, the introverted, those seeking a hibernation partner for a cold climate. |

Especially hedgehogs. (No, folks, there's no hedgehog porn. Not that I've read so far, anyway.) I've been dipping in and out of it and, as you'd expect, it's a great little collection- sometimes funny, sometimes tender, sometimes sad. Liking it a lot. |

There just isn't enough good hedgehog porn out there. |

I'm tempted to say 'you'd know.' So I will. |

I'm no expert on hedgerow sexuality. |

I've done it in a bush? Does that count? |

Can I just clarify that the pamphlet contains no reference to the sex lives of small rodents or insectivores, and no such creatures were harmed in its writing or production? Thanks. |

This is true. Several goats, on the other hand... |

These are difficult times, Simon. We all have to make sacrifices. |

My subscription to the NRA (National Rodentophile Association) came throught today. In their latest brochure they open with a poem. If you like looking at lemming or molesting mink take a look at our brochue and se what you think. You want to roger a rabbit or be rude with a rat? We cater for all taste including fruitbat. and so on |

Just to emphasise (again) that only human erotic activity (or inactivity) is featured in the poems in Instinct. (Sigh.) Reminds me of a colleague who said that in the context of a discussion with some friends about sex toys, she had mentioned that she kept a Rabbit in her bedside cabinet. Cue several minutes of anxious queries about the poor little bunny's food, welfare and comfort. |

This thread has just made me laugh out loud - thanks, guys! Good luck with the poetry book, Joel. I have to confess I'm not a poetry fan, so it's not for me. But I have heard people who know about these things rave about your poetry, so I hope it does well. |

Thanks for these kind words, Des. I particularly appreciate "‘eroticism’ is not the right word and I can’t think of the right word". That's really the whole point. |
