Book Cover & Preview Text
I write these odes, Tributes to men Who never care As much as I allow myself to. I'm the fuckgirl. Fulfillment for an hour- Never longer, Sometimes shorter. I end up empowered But always unfulfilled. Quite an empty existence For someone With so much to give. I hold out hope That one day, One will hold the power To stop me in my tracks Before I ruin The future With my tainted past. But as of yet, They never last. So, I am left To my locust-like nature To destroy the hope of life To feed my own. K-- ****************** You lie before me And lie to me At night In dimmed light. Talking in future tenses While acting in the present. The weight of your words I carry Into the daylight Where they dissipate Too fast For me to catch them. I could bear the load If you could Anchor their value. But you don't Remember my name When the lights come on. K--

About the Author
Once upon a time in March of 2008, I, Kristie LeVangie decided to put it all out there, and I published my very own complete collection of poetry titled Libidacoria: In a Plain Brown Wrapper. Book Cover graphic - small.jpg Sure, I tried to go the route of traditional publishers, but it seemed my potty mouth would be to my detriment. Instead of bending to The Man with his artistic infringement, I self-published and shouted from the rooftops of my 1st amendment freedom. SoKCoL New.jpg To market my erotic collection, I ventured into the online “Wild West” with the Shades of K—: Chronicles of Libidacoria podcast. My podcast format showcased audio readings of the poetry in my book along with accompanying essays (some diary, some social commentary, some comedy), and I set it all to music by independent and local musicians. The podcast quickly gained popularity, was showcased on Playboy Radio’s Spice Channel, and grew to have audiences in over 59 countries around the world. With over 100 episodes under my belt, I was ready to try something new. So in March of 2009, I took a foray into the talk show realm with Libidacoria: The Late Night Talk Show. A laid-back, sarcastic, but educational program, I and my crew of misfits— examined modern sexuality on a variety of topics from tame to outrageous and from educational to utterly entertaining. During our 3 years of broadcasting, we welcomed guests from religious sex toy designers to pioneering social scientists to YouTube sensations and beyond. We met the most fascinating people. The show ended in April of 2012, when personal tragedy struck. I lost love, a very close friendship, artistic direction and purpose…so I hermited myself from the limelight to regroup. I soon got hit by a different bug and found myself behind the mic. I had a brief stint where I ventured into Burlesque and did live performances integrating my poetry into popular songs. I performed at venues such as the Erotic Poetry and Music Festival in Detroit, the Fierce! Queer International Burlesque Showcase, the First Annual Ohio Burlesque Festival, the 2012 SWAN (Support Women Artists Now) Day Dayton, the RAW Natural Born Artists Cincinnati’s Mixology July 2012 event, and at several Passion & Poetry local art events. But I ultimately decided I was a writer at heart, and I yearned to return to what I loved. In March, I gave birth to my second volume of self-published poetry, and a prequel to Libidacoria: In a Plain Brown Wrapper, entitled 4play. Another collection of erotic poetry, this book showcased an elevated style and lyrical evolution. I am currently working on my second and third book in the Libidacoria Anthology and find myself battling a terrible bout of writer’s block.
