Erica Jong reads two selections from her first book of all new poems in more than a decade. Known and beloved for "Fear of Flying" and her many other books of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, Jong expounds on the eternal, universal topic of love. Using brilliant imagery and intense metaphorical insights to capture love in all its facets - the height of elation, the depths of sorrow, and the longing of desire - Jong reveals the full spectrum of this deepest of human emotions.
"Love Comes First" is now available through Tarcher/Penguin.

Love her- pick up 'Becoming Light' the entire collection of her poetry prior to this latest book. Read 'His Tuning of the Night' on page 300 and see if it doesn't bring you to tears. She's an amazingly gifted poet and scribe.

Interesting. Still, I think Erica Jong's skill lies in her prose.

Erica, if you're reading this, you're so right on poetry and the internet. And the possibilities are endless...especially on YouTube, (check out brychar66 and cavafyinenglish) where I wish you'd create your own site posting your readings, thoughts literary, political, etc. PLEASE? Love, Gary
