In the title poem, \u201cShitty Jody,\u201d Black muses about her many lovers who never could match the charisma of the earlier one. \u201cRepairs\u201d is sketched on similar lines. The avant-garde and voyeuristic \u201cMy Rig Hand\u201d uses erotic love-making to evoke intense emotions. The sexually suggestive \u201cThe Runner\u201d documents individual moments of passion, ecstasy, and melancholic longing. Black blends vivid descriptions, passionate observation, and private dreams in \u201cHis Greatest Sin.\u201d The major part of the collection comprises of intense, erotic, and deeply personal imagery, such as \u201cAwaiting Him,\u201d has arousing description of erotic moments and of sensuality as Black writes: \u201cThe Smell of Musk\/ lingers within\/ I feel his presence\/ But can\u2019t capture him\/ Silhouettes unseen\/ Squirming as I\u2019ve been\/ Awaiting his touch\u201d. She experiments with various forms, including rhyme, sonnets, and free verse, and her style remains simple and accessible, allowing readers to easily digest both the raw emotions of tender love and the pure pleasure of erotic, passionate sex. At its core, the collection is a vibrant and transcendent journey about love, heartbreak, and growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Shitty Jody<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By Krista Black<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FriesenPress<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Shitty-Jody-Krista-Black\/dp\/1525582097\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy now<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pub date March 15, 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ISBN 978-1525582080<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Price $20.49 (USD) Hardcover, $2.95 Kindle edition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A darkly erotic celebration of love&#8230; New love, sex, motherhood, heartbreak, and loneliness stay at the heart of Black\u2019s latest collection.
