Modern Erotic Poetry is a collection of 14 erotic poems. Most of the poems are fun and sexy to read. The author seemed unapologetically, playfully playing with words that in my eyes seem very bold from the explicitness of the language. There are some vanilla poems, but most are very raw in nature as I even blushed a few times. The topics covered in this collection are very modern and most describe kinky sexual acts, including threesomes, voyeurism, and even sex on the net are discussed. A few poems that I enjoyed were about the sensuality and appreciation of the human body. One of my favorites in this collection is a poem called Palm Reader. It is not as explicit but definitely not too vanilla. It is a poem about the pleasures of reading erotica, describing the effect that erotica can have on the mind and body of the reader. This collection is not for the tame as it is extremely bold-natured and have topics that are more modern than most.
