Inside:
This new Erotic Review is more art-based than the first, touching on both the sublime and the underbelly of violence inflicted by our gods and our cultures. The majority of the art and writing in this issue comes from women. It is visually led by four artists from different countries and artistic traditions (Loie Hollowell (see cover), Yulia Mahr, Firelei Báez, and ana Prvački), who consider desire and our humanity in paint, photography. sculpture and illustration.
There are three shorter pieces on the effect that Robert Mapplethorpe, Beyoncé and Namio Harukawa have had on the writers' lives and four poets (Juliana Huxtable, Marie Howe, Margaret Ross and Carmen Sánchez Ramos) who delve into the intrinsic-from Greek gods to their own physicality. Elsewhere there are essays and fiction that explore desire from Kurdistan to the Dominican Republic, from China to Sweden, and an essay by John Burnside, finished just before his untimely death in May this year.
There is also a sticker sheet of shapes that play with the magazines identity
Expect:
Published three times a year, the new Erotic Review has been produced for an intelligent contemporary audience, to reflect a society that is now much more curious, experimental and open about the desires that drive us.
