BRN-R is an oil on canvas piece that pops with color. Enjoy this gorgeous art by Christopher Dunlap in our MAY ISSUE 💕 buff.ly/75PwnAB
A dizzying painting: crooked, tessellating cubes in red, orange, yellow, olive, sky blue, and lavender — a bold red imprimatura energizing every surface. The cubes’ white faces recede and flatten at once, the canvas pulsing with geometric tension.

Submission window:  05/15 - 06/13 (BIPOC: 05/15 - 6/20).This issue aims to interrogate the varying politics of pleasure via the difference between the erotic and the pornographic through flash fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, and art. Pleasure does not a vacuum. Which leads to what are the relationships between what we fear and desire, and how does how we engage signify these importances?Complicating Queer folks' relationship to white, cis hetero, patriarchal sexual hegemony analysis for the possibility of a radical act, merely having sex or writing about sex, but to add clarity of sex and sexuality that is forbidden because Law and moral ethic of civil society. Pornography started as text and then adapted to images and then video, as it is commonly associated with today, and has shaped how we determine what kind of sexualities are acceptable and not. With these interrogations of the mundane, this issue will play a part in a long line of Queer folks' expression and understanding of self-determined states within civil society's libidinal economies. The works would range from erotica to erotica literature, with bonus points for a strong speculative element.PLEASURE ISSUE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
