"Her poems take a humorous look at sex and love," --Ryan Davis, Daily Hampshire Review. Aimee Herman walks up to the microphone, red hair flying off her face in untamed curls. Announces that she's going to read her poetry in a slightly uncommanding voice. You don't know what to expect. Yet part of you leans in a little closer. Her small lips part and she begins to speak about cheesecake which makes a lactose-intolerant-sufferer yearn for an entire plate full. She describes a ride on a motorcycle in such a way that afterwards, your hair is wind-blown. She weaves together food and sex in clever ways. (Just listen to--Within the Curve of the Spoon). Just be careful.....by the end of the CD, you may find yourself craving a cigarette, WISH you still had that Catholic schoolgirls uniform, and had hair in the shape of a giant, untamable afro. She has been featured on the Joey Reynold's Radio Show and several cafe's/bars in CT, NJ, MA, NY, CO. Her chapbooks: tastes like cheesecake (Butcher Shop Press)and if these thighs could talk (RoseWater Publications) can be purchased through emailing her at writerslashpoet@gmail.com. Keep an eye out for a new volume of poetry with accompanying spoken word cd newly released from Baobob Tree Press (self diagnosed lactose intolerance).
