Review: Revenge of the Orgasm:
Revenge of the Orgasm: by Greatest Poet Alive
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
GPA is a man who has taken hold of the world as if it were a blank canvas and on its surface has painted his portrait in words of passion and grace. This is the strangest book I have come across in a very long time. And there is nothing wrong in that. In an age of dreary sameness and manic graphology, a time when words spill into the air as rain in the monsoon spills from the sky, it is a rare thing to come upon something original. And entertaining.
GPA has constructed an erotic autobiography in short powerful poems that draw you into his world until his narcissistic claim of being The Greatest Poetic Alive has about it a ring of transcendental truth. Being a gentleman, as he says, GPA doesn’t provide readers with the names of his lovers, even his own is veiled in initials. Instead, he allows his words to drill into our imagination like woodworm in soft pine. The first poem in the anthology is called 15 Minutes – and, in that time, on meeting his lover, GPA takes us through a minute by minute cycle of sensual touches, warm kisses, dancing tongues and a glimpse of souls. Read the first and you are hooked.
