Erotic Poems

A diverse collection of erotic verse, Erotic Poems explores love's tender and passionate aspects across cultures and time periods.

This volume presents a captivating collection of erotic verse, ranging from ancient India and China to contemporary Britain. Erotic Poems serves as a delightful companion to the Everyman Pocket LOVE POEMS, bringing together a diverse array of works that explore the myriad facets of erotic love. The poems are thoughtfully arranged in a loose narrative sequence, allowing readers to journey through the tender, sensuous, and sometimes humorous aspects of desire.

While the collection does include bawdy verse from celebrated poets like Rochester, it is important to note that Erotic Poems maintains a focus on the emotional and passionate dimensions of eroticism rather than veering into the realm of pornography. Each poem invites readers to engage with the beauty of the human body and the complexities of love, making it a rich and rewarding experience.

Presented in a beautifully crafted pocket-sized hardback, this volume is part of Everyman's Library's new series dedicated to classic poetry. With its superior binding and paper quality, Erotic Poems stands out as an attractive addition to any poetry lover's collection. This thoughtfully curated anthology not only enriches the reader's understanding of erotic poetry but also celebrates the timeless nature of love and desire across cultures and eras.
