      Poems are conceived the way we are. They grow out of wild emotions, macerate for a while in their warm, thick juice... until your body cannot bear it any longer and you must push them out into words. I gave birth painfully first, to still-born things. I gave birth to foetuses... Then one day I tripped, fell, and gave life to Tears, Love, Desire and Angry Poundings. My poems tell the journey of a woman stumbling, struggling to stand back up and find her voice, but falling in love and hoping, hoping, with all her guts.

      The embarrassment and alienation we often feel when the word 'vagina' comes up in conversation is fairly new. In this book, Naomi Wolf explains why the vagina deserves an understanding of its own cultural lineage and ancestry because, what is true of the female body in general, is more true of the vagina than of any other feminine aspect.
