Pat Califia, Diesel Fuel 
(Masquerade, 1997), paperback, 320 pages, $12.95. 
 

This collection of poetry by a master of the erotic short story has garnered rave reviews even from mainstream critics. If youíve enjoyed her short stories and like poetry, youíll love this book. Like all her work, it is deeply evocative, powerful, and often political. Many of the poems are celebratory, erotic, and sensual, but others express her anger, pain, and disapointment. As always, she is just as willing to criticize the bdsm community as she is its political enemies. Califia seems to have poured more of herself into this book than any of her others.
