Peeking through your window, rotting in a bedroom teeming with clutter, rubbing each other by the pier, undressing onstage, watching mukbangs under the covers, hanging out your back pocket—perverts are all around us. Perverts are among us. Perverts are us. We are obsessive, maladjusted, hungry.
But who gets called a pervert? How has this term been used to other and criminalize people? How can we reclaim it? Or should we reclaim it? What are the ethics of perversion?
In our second journal, Edition 1: Perverts, we bring together a collection of essays, poems, short fiction, drama, and visual art that grapple with what perversion is, and through the lens of two characters, Libertine and Receiver, explore what it means to be a pervert.
We are so eternally grateful for the support in the making of this journal. We thank our contributors, our friends, and supporters (many we saw last night). Find the journal on our website.
our final round of excerpts featuring hasadiah, ethan, and aditya!!!! so excited to be sharing these with you. hope we see you out there tomorrow at 6 at @yumebk for the launch and to hear from these (yes these three!!!) writers
YOU'RE INVITED!! 🐕 to the Edition 1: Perverts launch party (◎_◎;) Check out the Launch Party RSVP form at the link in our bio 💋
We’re curious about what it means to be a pervert, the way that the term has been used to criminalize and other people, and how we may reclaim perversion. This book would not be possible without the art and writing of our brilliant contributors! Come by to celebrate and hear excerpts from this collection of our perverted writings >.< <3
