What emerges from the book as a whole is a stunningly diverse array of conceptions of self and other.?Publishers Weekly, starred reviewFrom "Beauty and Variations" by Kenny Fries:How else can I quench this thirst? My lipstravel down your spine, drink the smoothnessof your skin. I am searching for the core:What is beautiful? Who decides? Can the lawsof nature be defied? Your body tells me: comeclose. But beauty distances even as it drawsme near. What does my body want from yours?My twisted legs around your neck. You bendme back. Even though you cant give the bonesat birth I wasnt given, I let you deep inside.You give mewhat? Peeling back my skin, youexpose my missing bones. And my heart, longbefore you came, just as broken. I dont know whoto blame. So each night, naked on the bed, my bodydoesnt want repair, but longs for innocence. Ifinnocent, despite the flaws I wear, I am beautiful.Sheila Black is a poet and childrens book writer.
