Stop! We are fully aware that most people flee or reach for their weapons when they hear poetry mentioned… but we guarantee that this time it is worth to care. In fact, erotic poetry doesn’t necessarily have to be a bore: sometimes it can be as touching as it is arousing – especially if it is born out of personal experience with domination and submission relationships, like in the case of Valentina Neri’s works.

The poetess will perform a selection from the books that earned her several awards – including some pieces inspired by Sadistique itself! – during the September 3rd edition of the tentpole Milanese BDSM event, and she will also reveal the fascinating path that brought her to choose such a particular and intense theme.
