{"product_id":"9780887535772","title":"Erotic Haiku Of Skin On Skin","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe meaning of \"erotic\" varies greatly among the contributors to \u003ci\u003eErotic Haiku: Of Skin On Skin\u003c\/i\u003e. To many, it conjures actual intercourse-foreplay, climax and an array of emotions afterwards. For others, it is linked only tangentially to the sexual act: watching a bee enter a flower, recalling a glance from another or the smell of someone's hair or skin smooth to the touch or a whisper in one's ear or the taste of something sweet on a lover's tongue. Finally, a few see the erotic in terms of humour through wordplay and unexpected juxtapositions. Such a broad spectrum of the erotic guarantees that all readers are sure to find something pleasing.\u003cbr\u003eHaiku is a short form of poetry, capturing the essence of an experienced moment. The poems in this collection take a step further to focus on erotic moments in all their varieties. The earlier conception of a 5\/7\/5 structure has given way to a freer form; most haiku poets today agree that a haiku should consist of seventeen syllables (if there is no artificiality) or fewer. It is the moment, not the syllables, that matter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Terry Anne Carter (CA), George Swede (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Black Moss Press |  Paperback \/ softback | B-format paperback |  2017-09-15","offer_id":46225751638271,"sku":"9780887535772","price":17.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_7c8dccd2-6446-4db7-9015-103a2e777bc2.jpg?v=1728837775","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780887535772","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
