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