Hot Teen Slut is the second collection of poems by Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz. It was originally published in 2001, and re-released in April of 2011 by Write Bloody Publishing. The book is memoir-in-verse, a style that seemed a little awkward and dry initially. But, as the biographical story unfolded, it became more engaging and the poems grew stronger. At its core, HTS is more than a book that successfully fuses poetry and porn. It is an intriguing account of a smart young woman/poet trying to make ends meet, and maintain some semblance of normalcy while working in the adult entertainment industry.
Just out of college, Aptowicz took a job writing and editing copy for a dot.com business. That business turned out to be pornography. From there this collection was born. Her story is unique; more so than some of the poems themselves. That being said, my favorites here included: 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.
