My favorite books: Libidacoria: In a Plain Brown Wrapper by Me; Caleb Williams by William Godwin; Fire: From "A Journal of Love" : The Unexpurgated Diary by Anais Nin; Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller; Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson; Delta of Venus again by Anais Nin-- but I spend more time writing than reading. Check out my stuff in my blog!
My favorite quote:
Madness has always had great visuals, its ugly affliction often creating a freakish beauty when it preys upon and plays upon the young and lovely and charmed and blessed, inflicting the bipolar image of the female grotesque: the luminosity of beauty is matched only by the stupefaction of insanity, the opaque eyesore of sadness and despondency, a mixture of prettiness and pollution so striking and inexplicable that it is as hypnotic and paralyzing as a skyscraper burning down, so strange that mystification become inevitable."-- from Bitch by Elizabeth Wurtzel
I'm a strange breed of woman that won't accept limitations, strives to explore her independence, and approaches life with as much passion and intrigue as it will allow.
A freelance writer for over 20 years, I'm in a place now where I'm confident in myself, my writing, and my place in the literary community.
Does poetry make you yawn thinking of Whitman, Longfellow or e e cummings?
Well, poetry is sexy again with one of the most graphic and controversial books of the year!
Writer, K–, bursts onto this year’s art scene with one of the most anticipated book releases of our time. K—, the penname of Kristie LeVangie, has been an award-winning freelance poet for nearly 27 years. She’s been previously published in numerous anthologies and chapbooks, but this is her first complete collection, which showcases her edgy style and graphic use of language.
Libidacoria: In a Plain Brown Wrapper chronicles an independent woman’s sexual journey in the modern world. Far more than a work of eroticism, this book examines an independent woman’s struggle to find love in a world consumed by sex.
Libidacoria chronicles the author’s sexual journey from using men to satisfy her own “beast” to finding that one special man who obsesses her and ultimately opens her up for the possibility of love … again. Her graphic use of language and raw directness are intermingled with a subtle desire for romance and connectivity giving this book a unique insight into the feminine psyche.
Libidacoria: In a Plain Brown Wrapper is available now at: Amazon.com
“Libidacoria: In A Plain Brown Wrapper, lends sexual mystery to fantasy. It has the feel of sweet innocent desire that smells like leather. Poetic deviance searching for the picket fence with a chain swing attached to the mind. Not your mother's poetry, and isn't that refreshing.” — B.J. Stahl, fan
“Through her use of direct, brutal language, she elicits emotional reactions from hurt, to anger, to loss, to disgust, exemplifying the independent, strong woman struggling in a world that does not yet respect her independence...the emotional realm comes through in her poetry, through the exquisite, explicit language of lust and carnal craving.
It would be unjust to categorize this book as purely erotic writings – the depth displayed in the undercurrents of the book show a greater understanding of the male/female roles in society than is usually seen elsewhere. The conflict between the subjugated woman and the dominant emotions plays out throughout her poetry, portraying this conflict in an unusually expressive way. K—’s story is one of passion unleashed, a passion that has run through the ages but is rarely accepted in traditional societal norms.” — Ben Weichel, genx2k.com
“This book is an original, revealing a woman who longs for human closeness, choosing the sexual path to her destination. Strong vernacular and erotic themes make this book a must-have for fans of sex and poetry alike.” — Sam Hasson, L.A. Talk Radio, www.latalkradio.com
Podcast Review:
"...Libidacoria is a place where K-- tells you stories about her erotic journey through life. It’s like the last ten minutes of a Sex and the City episode, except that it doesn’t suck and it doesn’t set the cause of women’s liberation back fifty years." - Comical News Now
