Anyone know any good poetry/ poets who write about fucking? Like, really fucking.

Or at least the more passionate, volatile aspects of romance - not the sort of drivel that generally speaking, gets you into girls' pants.

Brooke
Barth
Sappho

Not exactly poetry, but look up the love letters James Joyce wrote for Nora Barnacle.

The Goblin Market by rossetti,

gang bangs, lesbianism, incest, all rolled into one

I've come across these before, suffice to say... not exactly what I was after.
Though that's really personal preference more than anything- they're pretty fascinating in a way.

But something in an epistolary vein would do just as well.

OP here, one of my all time favorites - if anyone can recommend anything similar that'd be fantastic.

Brooke's great and Sappho's always a good call.

This thread has taught me about Goblin Market. I am now incredibly intrigued after reading about it. Thank you, /lit/.

there's a splendidly illustrated version out there, all pre raphaelite girls covered in fruit juice and surrounded by horny little men...

PUTTING IN THE SEED

You come to fetch me from my work to-night
When supper's on the table, and we'll see
If I can leave off burying the white
Soft petals fallen from the apple tree
(Soft petals, yes, but not so barren quite,
Mingled with these, smooth bean and wrinkled pea;)
And go along with you ere you lose sight
Of what you came for and become like me,
Slave to a springtime passion for the earth.
How Love burns through the Putting in the Seed
On through the watching for that early birth
When, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,

The sturdy seedling with arched body comes
Shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs.


Robert Frost, making your woman moist since 1874 or thereabouts.

OP again, I'd also put in a recommendation for 'Porphyria's lover' by Robert Browning. Might also be up your alley.
