Description

The Alley Cats of Amsterdam is a collection of illustrated poetry written about the Amsterdam red light district. Poet Atticus Lee leads the reader on a journey of discovery through the famous alleyways of De Wallen. Examining the sensitive subject of sex work and prostitution, Atticus paints vivid poetic pictures of his experiences in the red light district. The style and substance of Atticus' poetry is as diverse as the experiences to be had in Amsterdam. Ranging from upbeat, lyrical poems to introspective and maudlin verse, Atticus' debut collection is a heartfelt tribute to the heroines who work behind the windows of the world's most famous red light district. Featuring 30 previously unpublished poems by Atticus Lee and 22 illustrations by Artist Alina M, The Alley Cats of Amsterdam is an insightful and thought-provoking read for anyone who's wondered what happens behind those red velvet curtains. A flavour of what to expect: I love the taste of your name I love the way your name feels in my mouth. Rising and falling in sublime symmetry. 'Monika'. I love the way your name is formed. I purse my lips, then summon a soft sound from deep within. 'Mon-i-ka, Mon-i-ka'. I could chew your name like gum, and never get tired. Unexpectedly hearing your name from the lips of others soothes me like a waft of warm air on a dank day. Embracing your name on my tongue turns a smile, and hides the disappointment that the sound of your name is the only part of you I have left to hold. I love the way your name makes me feel; the memories it conjures. I loved every time I said your name and you were there to hear it. Sometimes, a name is the only real thing we have left. I'll hold your name in my mouth forever, because this kind of love is eternal.
