“Yr open mouth awaiting my harvest,” RKF Jr. apparently wrote in a poem called "American Canyon" to Nuzzi. “Drink from me, Love.”
"I mean to squeeze your cheeks to force open your mouth. I’ll hold your nose as you look up at me to encourage you to swallow. ‘Dont spill a drop’. I am a river You are my canyon. I mean to flow through you. I mean to subdue and tame you. My Love," the prose allegedly said.
Olivia Nuzzi also reportedly had a liaison with congressman Mark Sanford.
According to Lizza, many other poems were "too explicit to print."
"I wish I hadn’t been put in this position, that I didn’t have to write about any of this, that I didn’t have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy," Lizza said.

Olivia Nuzzi's Memoir Hits Bookshelves Next Month
Olivia Nuzzi will be releasing her bombshell memoir next month.
Nuzzi is set to expose all about the "personal relationship" she had with Kennedy in her new memoir, American Canto.
In the book (out December 2), the reporter claimed their relationship was more than just a casual fling, noting they fell in love with each other.
She also didn't care about their large age gap, writing they had "common language, common skepticisms, common ideas about what was beautiful, common beliefs about what was valuable."
Nuzzi recalled how they "moved through the world with amused detachment and deep sensitivity, contradictions that worked somehow in concert." She even alleged that Kennedy wanted to have a baby with her and would write her love notes.
Kennedy has denied the alleged affair.
