All the Gold Hurts My Mouth - Katherine Leyton - Bog

"All the Gold Hurts My Mouth" pulls no punches. Combining a visceral feminism with sharp eroticism, Katherine Leyton takes on sexual politics in the twenty-first century. As she holds up a mirror up a mirror to the male gaze, she unflinchingly interrogates the nature of images and masks as they work through television, movies, and the Internet the hyperreality that influences our perceptions and interactions. Yet, for all of that, this vivid collection is also a rich quest for identity, authenticity, and nature uncorrupted. Gloriously reaching for connection and love, for honesty and intimacy, Leyton gives voice to a bold, resounding feminism in this manifesto for our age. - 20160304"
