SIDELIGHTS:

Tee A. Corinne is a pioneer in the field of lesbian erotica as an artist, researcher, and educator. In an article for Lambda Book Report, Terri L. Jewell said, "Corinee continues to astound with her ability to gather together erotica and bestow it on us with some regularity. She makes sensual transformations of the every day things we do and share with lovers."

Corinne told CA: "In my work I have sought to bring generosity, beauty, and grace to the understanding of women's and lesbian sexuality and history, and to lesbian literary personalities. I'm interested in establishing ways to communicate across barriers of taboo, negative stereotyping, and benign ignorance."
