During the Women's Liberation Movement, Waters traveled around the United States to share her erotic, angry, and feminine poems, gathering throngs of lesbian admirers. Waters was a modern-day lesbian-feminist bard performing her poems with theatrical flair. Waters' poems grapple with gender norms, sexual harassment, and hetero-patriarchal publishing expressing the rage that comes with experiencing the second-class citizenry of womanhood. Even more radical, Waters' writes of lesbian intimacy and sex, calling attention to nuances of family and belonging in the context of her identity as a lesbian. \u003ci\u003eMelting in Your Mouth\u003c\/i\u003e is a treasury of Waters' early work. As witness to and participation in Gay Liberation and the Women's Liberation Movement of the seventies and eighties, Waters' poems also witness a genealogy of living and laughing authentically against all odds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chocolate Waters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1944981713\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781944981716\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sinister Wisdom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Chocolate Waters","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46825930293503,"sku":"9781944981716","price":20.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d808412f-b105-4b88-ac18-3d65aa48d228.jpg?v=1746074057","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/melting-in-your-mouth-chocolate-waters-9781944981716","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
