Hot Teen Slut is the second collection of poems by Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz. The book was originally published in 2001 and re-released in April of 2011 by Write Bloody Publishing.
HTS is memoir-in-verse, a style that seemed a little awkward and dry initially. But, as the biographical story unfolded the poems grew increasingly engaging. At its core,
HTS is more than a successful fusion of poetry and porn. It is an intriguing account of a young woman trying to make ends meet while trying to maintain some semblance of normalcy in the adult entertainment industry.
Fresh out of college, Aptowicz took a job writing and editing copy for a dot.com business. That business turned out to be pornography. That experience spawned this collection. Her story is unique; more unique than the poems themselves. Nevertheless, here are a few of my favorites moments:
Keeping It In Neutral,
Signs Of A Daughter,
The Box,
The Christmas Party,
Morning Date and
On Getting An Email From A High School Girl Telling Me She Loves My Writing.
