Tempest 2

Tempest 2 is a striking and sensual anthology from The Ravens Quoth Press, gathering poetic voices from across the world to celebrate the many forms of romantic and erotic connection. Whether whispering of long-lost lovers, exploring bodily desire, or unfolding moments of raw intimacy, the poems in Tempest speak boldly and beautifully about the human need for closeness.

This edition deepens the original vision with new contributions that range from elegantly restrained to unflinchingly explicit. The language of the body is rendered in delicate metaphor and powerful imagery, making the anthology as much about emotional resonance as physical longing. From gentle confessions to wild declarations, Tempest is a literary invitation to embrace vulnerability, desire, and love in all their messy, magnificent glory.

Perfect for readers of romantic, feminist, or sensual poetry, this collection does not shy away from difficult emotions or intimate truths. Instead, it holds them up to the light and allows them to shimmer, unashamed. Whether you’re seeking literary elegance or passionate abandon, Tempest promises to move you, stir you, and leave your pulse just a little quicker.
