Passion. Lust. Unrequited love. The consumption of forbidden fruit. Desire, and its outlaws. Fifteen years in the making, Angela Hryniuk's book of poetry pearls & forbidden fruit is the stuff of real life: the hubris and the underbelly, the delight and the bliss the things that we transform into the gold of wisdom and meaning. Following the path blazed by Phyllis Webb s classic Naked Poems, Hryniuk's poetry sparkles with precious gems of insight and realization. Hryniuk reaches into the depths of humanness to reveal the naked body that resides beneath the naked body. Nora Patrich's playfully serious erotic drawings which tastefully accompany Hryniuk's poetry elevate this volume to an Object of Art, rather than a simple book. Pearls & forbidden fruit is a serious read, a pleasure to glance through and an experience to cherish. Enjoy these pearls of love fearlessly.
