Bottoms Up: Writing About Sex (2004)
Collection of writing about desire. The
stories are not straight-up sexual narrations but pieces, poems, and
stories that explore the concept and manifestation of desire itself.
Rather than merely describing the physical acts of sex, these
writings limn the impetus, experiences, thoughts, and feelings that
drive desire. The stories in the collection are varied but share a
fascination with breaking down conventional conceptions of gender in
favor of a wider view of sexuality. They include an examination of
iconoclastic sexuality (musing on what it would be like to have sex
with James Dean and like James Dean), finding the apex of desire in
Lenny Kaye's sweat-soaked leather pants after a Patti Smith Group
show, genderqueer cruising, the connection between sex and loss, and
more. Contributors include A. Emergency, Annie Leigh, Charlie
Anders, Daphne Gottleib,
Eileen Myles, Felicia Luna Lemus, Jess Arndt,

and Victoria Brownworth.
