Fragmentary, unabashed, erotic―"Lifting Belly" is a singular lesbian love poem from modernist Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) which lays bare desire and easy intimacy--now in a beautifully packaged edition.

What is it when it's upset. It isn't in the room. Moonlight and darkness. Sleep and not sleep. We sleep every night.

What was it.

I said lifting belly.

You didn't say it.

I said I mean lifting belly.

Don't misunderstand me.

Do you.

Do you lift everybody in that way.

No.

You are to say No.

Lifting belly.

How are you.

Lifting belly how are you lifting belly.

We like a fire and we don't mind if it smokes.

Do you.

―From "Lifting Belly"

About Gertrude Stein

Gertrude Stein (1874–1946) was an American modernist writer and art collector born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. She studied psychology under William James at Radcliffe College and then medicine at Johns Hopkins University, leaving without a degree, and settled in Paris in 1903. There she and her partner, Alice B. Toklas, kept a salon frequented by Picasso, Matisse, Hemingway, and Fitzgerald. Her books include Three Lives (1909), Tender Buttons (1914), and The Making of Americans (1925). The phrase "the Lost Generation" is attributed to her.
