Author(s): Kate Llewellyn

Biography

In this book of love letters Kate Llewellyn reinvents that standard theme of male erotica, women's sexuality. Like all the best erotic writing, Dear You is about desire unsatisfied. Yet her passionate lyricism makes ecstasy and pain equally present and powerful, untrammelled by patriarchal guilt. Loss and longing are the pulse of life in this book, given form by the acts of daily survival - gardening, cooking, visiting and being visited. This unique combination, the strength of Kate Llewellyn's previous work, The Waterlily, is here brought closer to the erotic intensity of her poetry.
