Kind of a flapper/dyke thing going on that gives me night wood.

Anna Akhmatova. Sorry for the small picture, doesn't do her justice:



The Russians are cumming, the Russians are cumming!

Jhumpa Lahiri. Kind of new on the scene. Just a couple of books under her belt:



They should call her Jhump-Lo!

Elizabeth Bishop:

Young: Old:

I'd hit 'em both.

Christine de Pisan:



Is that a wimple?

And finally, Elizabeth Barrett Browning:



Is that a Ring and a Book in my pants or am I just glad to see you?

Sylvia Plath. I think I could have maybe helped save her from herself with my strawberry lips and snake hips.

this is a no-brainer:



i'm not a fan of his work so much, but i think kerouac was/is the hottest and most doable male writer ever.

By the way, for the first ever org mention of Christine de Pisan.

I have no idea what Henry Miller looks like, but no bother, I'd do him anyway.

Kerouac is the reason I became an English Lit major! I do love his writing, and after I found out how good-looking he was, I became even more of a fan.

I recently traveled to SF on a grant from the English Dept to study Kerouac and his works, and am currently working on an undergraduate honors thesis that focuses on his life. The work gets really hard and tedious, especially when plowing through some of his dense prose. But all I have to do is look at a picture of him to get inspired!

Actually I think there was once a mention in the old PPML

I'll suggest Fabio, even if his work is confined to covers.
