Candace Walsh Orden de los libros

Exploring various dimensions of love, Candace Walsh's debut poetry chapbook captures the unsaid experiences of relationships, extending beyond romance to include friendships and familial bonds. Employing free verse alongside traditional forms, she pays homage to literary figures who have overlooked women and queer voices. The collection offers a nuanced reflection on love's complexities, blending celebration with an acknowledgment of its potential traumas, as noted by poet J. Allyn Rosser, who highlights the intensity and wariness in Walsh's exploration of connection and belonging.

The new buzzword in female sexuality is “sexual fluidity”—the idea that for many women, sexual identity can shift over time, often in the direction of same-sex relationships. Examples abound in popular culture, from actress Cynthia Nixon, who left her male partner of 15 years to be with a woman, to writer and comedienne Carol Leifer, who divorced her husband for the same reason.In a culture increasingly open to accepting this fluidity, Dear John, I Love Jane is a timely, fiercely candid exploration of female sexuality and personal choice. The book is comprised of essays written by a broad spectrum of women, including a number of well-known writers and personalities. Their stories are sometimes funny, sometimes painful—but always achingly honest—accounts of leaving a man for a woman, and the consequences of making such a choice.Arousing, inspiring, bawdy, bold, and heartfelt, Dear John, I Love Jane is an engrossing reflection of a new era of female sexuality.
