Publishing Experimental Erotic Poetry
The magazine features experimental erotic poetry that pushes boundaries of language and form. These poems challenge conventional expressions of desire, often blending abstract and sensory imagery. Literary experimentation broadens the expressive possibilities of erotic writing.
Examples include free verse, prose poem, concrete poem, found text, visual poem, and haiku. Some incorporate mixed media such as images or sound. Others utilize unconventional line breaks to enhance rhythm and texture. Writers employ metaphor, simile, hyperbole, personification, and metonymy for richer descriptions. They may also explore gender roles, power dynamics, and social norms.
Submission Process
Submissions are accepted year-round from anywhere in the world. Authors must provide name, email, and phone number. Each submission includes three to five poems that fit in one page. The editor reviews submissions within eight weeks and responds via email if work is chosen. The author signs a contract granting first publication rights and receives $200 upon publication. If poems are later reprinted elsewhere, they credit the original source.
Editorial Requirements
Poems should be unique, previously unpublished, and original. They can have been written for performance but not published online. No simultaneous submissions are allowed. Editors prefer poems with vivid sensuality over explicitness. Content should not offend or degrade individuals based on race, age, ability, orientation, religion, etc. Poems should avoid sexist tropes and objectifying language.
