Wendy Allen\u2019s Portrait in Mustard celebrates sex and pleasure, whilst registering the risks of intimacy for straight women in a world where men\u2019s pleasure often comes first. This collection is alive with references to the arts and fashion. The sensuality of the poems riffs off Barbara Hepworth\u2019s sculptures, Jean Rhys\u2019s fiction, and Anais Nin\u2019s erotica, but there are also poems inspired by Des\u2019ree, the West Side Story song \u2018America\u2019, a Mulberry handbag, and Richard Curtis movies. Via the unabashed tones of mustard yellow and metaphors of fruit and art, Allen\u2019s poems create a manifesto for women\u2019s independence, autonomy and joy. These are explicit, honest poems which embrace sex as an integral part of relationships and love.\n\nPortrait in Mustard\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note that the price advertised is as low as we can go, ;
