Sex Libris

Poetry. Los Angeles based poet Judith Taylor is full of surprises in her third book of poems, SEX LIBRIS. These intelligent, hyper-alert, witty poems, many of them written in a five-line form Judith Taylor has made her own, playfully mix tones and levels of language into a fresh and lively brew. Her poems demonstrate smartly jittery, telepathic snap and bounce, according to Albert Goldbarth.

Here are poems of authority, emotional resonance and linguistic invention that sparkle with aphoristic jazz and goth-comic subversion.--Dorothy Barresi
