Summary: very slinky and kind of scary at the same time
Comment: This book slinks! I'm a 16 year old baby dyke from Madison, Wisconsin. It's got a lot of S/M stuff, which kind of put me off at first, cos I'm quite vanilla. Still, it's a great book and I read one poem over and over again. That would "Only You Can Kiss Like This." I shared it with my lover and she really liked it too. I love Califia's imagery. At first I"d only heard of her as a sex columnist in a lesbian magazine and I was happily surprised to hear she writes poetry as well.

Summary: Diesel Fuel is true dyke poetry.
Comment: Pat states in "Diesel Fuel," "If I have a vocation, it is to combat sexual shame by speaking as much truth as I know about what really happens in the realm of Eros, and Diesel Fuel is one more record of that calling."

I am a dyke. As part of my coming out process, I sought out lesbian/dyke history. I wanted a record of others who were like me. I wanted to learn about them. I'm grateful for Pat's work, including "Diesel Dykes."

As you read each poem, you can feel the soul of the woman she introduces you to. These poems are true dyke poetry.

I'm proud to say I have been out for a number of years. I'm happy to report I had the opportunity to meet Pat Califia at a gathering in San Francisco.

Enjoy "Diesel Fuel" and any other of her excellent, thought-provoking work.

I devoured this book, cover to cover. I trust you will too.
