SENSUAL SATIN / SEDA SENSUAL by Alicia Zavala Galván
Sensual Satin
is a lyrical and seductive appeal to the body and the senses, tracing
not only an awakening of love, passion and desire, but a discovery of
broader and richer horizons of the self and the world. Each poem is
set to rise above gender, going to deeper levels of human feeling and
expression with an underlying theme of the joy of physical and
emotional affection.

señalado no solo un despertar del amor, passion y deseo sino
un descubrimiento mas amplio y enriquezido de los horizontes del ser
y del mundo. Cada poema esta situada para ir mas alla del genero,
pasando a niveles mas profundos de una expresión y sentimento
humano con un tema subyacente de carino y gozo físico.

This collection of sweet sensual verse should not
be read alone! Ms. Galván, already an accomplished writer,
explores vivid images that melt off the page (fire extinguisher recommended!).
--Rod C. Stryker, Chair, Sunpoet's Society, author, Exploits
of a Sun Poet (2003).
A personal journey into passion, into fusion with
the beloved, Galván's Sensual Satin reveals "a
blanket of passion" and the "inner caverns illuminated by
fire." Galvan explores the moment "where your body acquires
magic." A collection accented by love.
--Carmen Tafolla, author of To Split A Human
(1985), Sonnets to Human Beings and Other Selected Works (1992), Baby
Coyote and the Old Woman (2000), Sonnets and Salsa (2001), and others.
Seda Sensual is a book of flight, of
discovery. In it Alicia Galván discovers the joy of flying, of
spreading her wings for the first time and letting go. With her, we
can feel the uplift, the thrill of plunge, of figure eights, of
innocence lost. It's a good book without lag.
