She was that author we hid from parental eyes. Anais Nin had been banned from libraries and school rooms as was thus irresistible. For many young authors, she opened up sensual, opulent worlds that had been forbidden and gave voice to deeply hidden hungers.

From the Four Chambered Heart: In tribute to Anais Nin brings together a diverse mixture of writers, poets, and artists whose work has been inspired by the words and the life of Anais Nin. Aunia Kahn’s gorgeous front cover artwork pays tribute to both Nin’s literary and erotic beauty. Angel Uriel Perales’, “Iced Water on the Table,” explores the idea of failed intimacy that marked many of Nin’s short stories. Meghan Elison’s poem “Anaïs,” draws parallels between herself and Nin’s experiences within the nuances of sexual identity. Hattie Quinn’s “Concentrate of the Poetry,” playfully and erotically recounts what happens when ‘booth babes’ and a shared copy of Nin’s Delta of Venus combine. Deborah L. Warner’s essay, “Perspectives Across a Dinner Table,” addresses the prejudices that still exist against women writers who dare to write in genres, including erotica, that are still thought of by many to be exclusively male. Pam Ward’s poetic narrative, “Anaïs’ Husband,” describes the aftermath of Nin’s death as experienced by Nin’s first (and legal) husband, Hugo.

This is the city, Los Angeles, California. Within the county are over 500 miles of freeways and 6500 miles of streets. According to the latest census, the population is over 3.7 million people. Yet the California Department of Motor Vehicles states that there are more than 6.6 million automobiles in the county. Los Angeles is world famous for being car crazy. However, there is a significant part of its population that gets around quite well without ever using an automobile. The largest provider of public transit which includes buses, trains and light rail reports a ridership of 1.6 million per week day, making the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) the third largest in the country. And that is just one of a half dozen very active transit agencies in this county. There are also 377 miles of bike paths with a plan to increase to 1600 miles. Add to that the runners, rollerbladers and walkers, and it's clear that Los Angeles moves in many different ways. Alternate Lanes: An Anthology of Travel Using Alternate Transportation in the City of Angels is a fond though often unflinching and irreverent look at transit that doesn't involve an automobile. This collection of eye opening prose and poetry is by some of the best writers and poets who call Los Angeles home.

As a subgenre of fiction, sexpunk is down, dirty and direct. It's shock-sex, meant to turn the reader on with its nasty, no-punches-pulled attitude. It's hardcore–triple-X in nature and unapologetic Paperback $7
