What Kind of Love Did You Have in Mind?

Ronald Charles Epstein is a Toronto-based freelance writer and published poet.

Eric Folsom’s second poetry collection stakes out a tenable position
in the current culturo-sexual minefield.

In “Slimmer trimmer U,” the poet questions a “tacky ad” that
features a woman with shapely legs, “her posture bent to allow
penetration.” He deflects charges that he is one of those
“politically correct sourpusses” by reaffirming sexuality while
attacking its exploitation. The poem “Rubbing the clitoris of God”
expresses an erotic reverence, surprising prudes and libertines. In
“Transvestite’s Song,” the poet concludes that the heterosexual
cross-dresser possesses his ideal woman by becoming one. “Trawna” is
set in the Metropolitan Toronto Zoo; a woman in a wheelchair discusses
the tigers while her husband ogles another woman’s pink dress.

What Kind of Love Did You Have in Mind? is a personal testament
rendered by an expert craftsman.
