Love and Fuck Poems
Sexually repressed, separated Greek girl on a rampage. There’s no love here, just fucks. But is she fucking him or fucking herself? Love and Fuck poems. A 52 page story told through poetry. No fluff, no birds and trees, just honest, raw, poetry.

“Koraly writes in a voice that you need to hear. Her pride and passion is powerful, vulnerable, tentative, strong. The way she fucks with our sense of φιλότιμο—pride—will be chillingly resonant and painfully desirable to women from our community who have refused themselves a voice.” Esther Anatolitis, CEO, Melbourne Fringe
“Love and Fuck Poems is exactly what poetry should be—personal, passionate and bold. It goes to places many poets avoid, shining light on humanity’s dark side, allowing the reader the rare opportunity of feeling included in the experience through the clarity and honesty of the work.” Paul Kooperman, National Director, Australian Poetry
“Koraly Dimitriadis is a gritty, gutsy, gobsmacking poet and performer—and she manages to be all those things with style and refinement.” Santo Cazzati, winner, best solo performance, Overload poetry festival 2010
“This is the sort of poetry we need. It has a love of the resonance of words, but most importantly, huge courage and surprising insight. Provocative, sure, but not provocation purely for its own sake—Dimitriadis’ poems are explosively political and humane.” Andy Jackson, winner, 2008 Arts ACT Rosemary Dobson Award
