Publisher's Synopsis
"Barbara" is a powerful and evocative collection of poetry that celebrates and honors the innate femme, with a focus on women and gay men. In Cody Capri's fourth release, through a series of 30 thought-provoking and deeply personal poems, the complexities of love, desire, and identity are explored with unflinching honesty and a raw, unfiltered voice that will leave readers spellbound.
From the hauntingly beautiful "Love Is a Skeleton Key II: The Lock" to the fiercely empowering "Athena Was Stronger Than Sunshine and Rainbows," each poem in "Barbara" is a vivid, emotionally charged journey that speaks to the human experience in all its joys and sorrows. The author's use of language is breathtaking, with each word carefully chosen and placed to create a visceral and unforgettable impact.
The themes explored in "Barbara" are universal, yet the collection is also a deeply personal tribute to the femme. Whether delving into the dark corners of desire in "I Eat the Man for Breakfast" or exploring the power dynamics of relationships in "Cupid's Checklist", or the power of choice in "The Color Green", "Barbara" offers a fearless and unapologetic exploration of what it means to be a femme in todays world.
