Despite these challenges, we continue to create work that speaks to the relevance of our lives, our fears, our joys, our frustrations, our victories and our sexual desires. The restrictions placed upon all of us in the past 18 months curtailed our ability to move about freely preventing us from gathering with family, friends and loved ones. In this issue we are delighted to feature the work of several writers, poets and visual artists all of whom continued to create work despite the personal and societal challenges posed by the COVID pandemic. The decision was based on our desire to continue to be able to publish this journal (which since its founding has been published with no funding) except for a deep desire as artists and writers ourselves, to provide a platform for queer erotica, and we have been delighted and are deeply grateful for the support of our contributors, their friends, families, their networks and their fans.
Beginning with this issue, we made the editorial choice to publish only twice a year.
