Product Description
From Amazon.com
Pat Califia is well known as a sexual pioneer whose essays and fictions have encouraged lesbians to explore and discuss a wider range of erotic experience. In this book, her first volume of poetry, Califia gives voice--in the form of brief lyrics and more developed dramatic monologues--to the rebels and outlaws she has written about as a theorist. The women in these poems are tough, funny, often working class dykes who howl in anger, rage, and ecstasy about the power of sex, the sex of power, and not a few controversies between.

Diesel Fuel is true dyke poetry., Aug 9 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Diesel Fuel: Passionate Poetry (Mass Market Paperback)
Pat states in "Diesel Fuel," "If I have a vocation, it is to combat sexual shame by speaking as much truth as I know about what really happens in the realm of Eros, and Diesel Fuel is one more record of that calling."I am a dyke. As part of my coming out process, I sought out lesbian/dyke history. I wanted a record of others who were like me. I wanted to learn about them. I'm grateful for Pat's work, including "Diesel Dykes."
As you read each poem, you can feel the soul of the woman she introduces you to. These poems are true dyke poetry.
I'm proud to say I have been out for a number of years. I'm happy to report I had the opportunity to meet Pat Califia at a gathering in San Francisco.
Enjoy "Diesel Fuel" and any other of her excellent, thought-provoking work.
I devoured this book, cover to cover. I trust you will too.

very slinky and kind of scary at the same time, Aug 27 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Diesel Fuel: Passionate Poetry (Mass Market Paperback)
This book slinks! I'm a 16 year old baby dyke from Madison, Wisconsin. It's got a lot of S/M stuff, which kind of put me off at first, cos I'm quite vanilla. Still, it's a great book and I read one poem over and over again. That would "Only You Can Kiss Like This." I shared it with my lover and she really liked it too. I love Califia's imagery. At first I"d only heard of her as a sex columnist in a lesbian magazine and I was happily surprised to hear she writes poetry as well.

For die-hard P.C. fans!!, May 11 2010
By Nicole B. "Nicole" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Diesel Fuel: Passionate Poetry (Mass Market Paperback)
I was lucky to be able to get this book. They're hard to come by. If you're a P.C. fan, you know to expect the racy, risque and kinky. What an incredible author. I love this book. I have some of my faves dog-eared, and read them frequently. It's good stuff, but expect to feel a little frisky after reading!!! ;)
