Sleeping With Soldiers: In Search of the Macho Man von Rosemary Daniell
More of a documentary than erotica. Too matter of fact to be erotic. As a matter of fact, I didn't find it to be sexy at all. But as a memoir, it was still very interesting. The psychological implications of her choices seemed to be somewhat lost on her. Although she was struggling for self-awareness, I'm not sure she ever found it.
Daniell started out as a poet who wrote lyrical verse on nature with such titles as "Green Frogs" and "Black Animals." Between those innocent lyrical beginnings, which served largely to hone Daniell's mastery of her craft, and her volumes of noteworthy fiction and nonfiction, A SEXUAL TOUR OF THE DEEP SOUTH stands as a singular explosive event in the corpus of her work.
Crackling with the energies of self-liberation via a sudden focused expansion of consciousness, it is a uniquely significant document in the canon of womanist literature. Much of the imagery and details in A SEXUAL TOUR OF THE DEEP SOUTH are not for the mild-hearted or overly sensitive. The contents of the poetry swing back and forth between the erotically exceptional and the downright raunchy. One might nearly have expected Baudelaire to compose these poems had he been a politically informed Southern woman writing in the 1960s. Whereas the book can be read with real pleasure on its more graphic levels, it assumes a deeper meaning when the erotic is accepted as a metaphor for the individual claiming all rights to her own being.
