Only in Whispers by Alicia Kay Smith

'Never the sound of your name on my lips/ And my heart speaks ONLY IN WHISPERS' is the titular designation of Alicia Kay Smith's only known pertinent volume. This is the rarest of the Lesbian poetry volumes known to the authors. It is also the most overt and among the most romantic. She is certainly not a great poet; but she deserved a better fate than obscurity. We have no way, short of reprinting the book, to recommend it more highly than to say that it is worth skipping meals to afford it IF you can find a copy. ~ Lennox Strong and Terri Cook, The Ladder V11N2 p.24
