With a Rough Tongue: Femmes Write Porn

A rebellious anthology of porn stories about sex and the modern femme: no-holds-barred queer sex tales that reinvent lesbian erotica in ways that are transgressive and empowering. Starting off where other lesbian erotic anthologies end, these are not your typically delicate, lace-and-feathers kind of stories; instead, they're blunt and hard-hitting and challenge traditional notions of gender roles when it comes to getting off.

The anthologists argue that good, clean lesbian smut is difficult to come by these days, overwhelmed by political correctness and authorial self-censorship. Unabashedly raunchy, these stories prove that femme porn can be sexy and smart at the same time.

Includes stories by Nalo Hopkinson (author of The Salt Roads and co-editor of So Long Been Dreaming), Anna Camilleri (author of I Am a Red Dress and editor of Red Light), Rachel Kramer Bussel, Daphne Gottlieb, Ducky Doolittle, Zoe Whittall, and many more.

Amber Dawn is a writer and poetry editor of PRISM international magazine. Trish Kelly is a writer and festival organizer who has been published in numerous anthologies. They both live in Vancouver.
