Pleasures - Love, Sex, and Poetic Stories

In the age of simulated realities, poetry allows you to bring words to life. Have you ever pictured your thoughts lasting forever? Have you ever thought when I write I AM free? We became in agreement that our talent worked cohesively together and gave birth to a masterpiece. Pleasures: Love, Sex, and Poetic Stories is a collection of poems and poetic short stories by DeJuan Cuffee and Sharon Evans that explore themes of love, lust, relationships, passion, and longing. The authors adeptly showcase their talents with wordplay soaked in hip-hop inspired lyrical eroticism, as well as through their intergalactic expressions, and often straight forward language. There are beautiful illustrations provided throughout the book that complement several poems providing vivid color and expressionism. Delicacies include masterfully crafted flows that address the highs and lows of love through tales of high adventure or through clever, confessional back and forth banters. There are sultry sexual escapades, humorous one-liners, and emotional sagas for the readers (both couples and singles) to enjoy. The authors, while effortlessly balancing and blending their voices, in the process ended up forming their own poetic language, and we are all the better for it.

DeJuan has been writing poetry for several decades, writing poetry is one of his biggest passions only behind his family, and love for music.

DeJuan's style of poetry is polished and intellectual, yet abstract; and he possesses an acute sense of rhythmic writing, to go along with an endless imagination, and very reflective voice. He is often described by readers of his work as an excellent storyteller, with ingenious wordplay, and clever concepts. DeJuan's poetry covers a vast array of topics and themes, to include protest poetry on social issues such as racism and politics, well thought out pieces on Black culture and consciousness, and themes on love, sex, and romance. He talks about everyday life experiences, provides inspirational quotes of hope, expresses his love for his family, music, and tells cautionary tales (short stories), all with hip-hop inspired lyricism throughout. DeJuan is one of the more proficient and prolific poets of his era, continuing to craft jewels on a regular basis.
