About this listen

"If we were meant to be nude, we would have been born that way." – Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Leah Crowley's Naked Verses: Stripped Poetry is a collection themed around body positivity, confidence, gender dysphoria, naturism, Wicca and social acceptance. Includes the award-winning verse "Solar Angel".

Modern society is overcome with mixed views about appearance, nudity, sexuality.

Naked Verses strips away the social conditions from the social media censorship and goes back to nature and the quest for the evolving human. This collection is inspired from a series of dreams.

A critically poetic journey into the awakening of the soul and a journey to enrich life.

A quest to be yourself.

Crowley's poetic style could be described as naive, in that it's mostly straightforward and easy to understand. But that's not a weakness in this case. She really captures and evokes the moments. There were many poems that made me smile or nod in agreement or appreciation.

The poet is transgender, and a naturist, and most of the poems are on those themes. Almost all are present tense and first person, so there's an immediacy and intimacy, like a person really sharing their life with you.

What I got most from this book is the author's absolute joy - in her evolving trans body, in her relationship with the natural world with no clothes to shield her. It's uplifting.

The narration is perfect; calm and gentle and in keeping with the themes of the poems. If I could criticise, I would have liked longer pauses between the poems, perhaps even a wee musical stab. They tended to bleed into each other. I like to spend a little time thinking about one poem before the next one starts.

excellent.

Such pure joy.
