Bringing sexy back: The Hook's hot lit picks at the Book Fest

The Virginia Festival of the Book has always been a ground breaker, and this year it ups the ante with a Tantric sex workshop.

"We've had sex several years in a row," says Festival organizer Nancy Damon, referring, one hopes, to Festival readings and speeches. She notes that the Festival has also sponsored workshops– writing workshops. But a Tantric practices workshop? 

"Did you know the U.S. poet laureate is coming?" responds a sidestepping Damon.

It's very exciting that the country's top poet, Charles Simic, will be here (8pm March 28), of course, but back to Tantric sex at the 14th Virginia Festival of the Book. Patricia Johnson and Mark Michaels lead the March 29 workshop, which costs $50, at Studio 206. Start with the free "Intro to Tantra" at 8pm March 28.
