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.
