With both ardor and sensuality, Darling Vulgarity challenges us to
embrace humanity's imperfections while urging us toward new spiritual
realities. And then, sometimes, the poems are just plain sexy. Or, as
Nat Hardy wrote, "Waters' meditative and confessional forays into the
sexual sublime are both disturbing and artfully passionate."
Darling Vulgarity also includes poems based on Waters' true literary
experiences with such notables as Raymond Carver, Allen Ginsberg, and
Robert Lowell.
