‘Exploring Desire’
Erotic Review was first published as a bimonthly magazine in 1997, and then relaunched in 2024 as an art and literary platform that explores desire in its many forms and complexities. Editor Lucy Roeber introduced the new form in her first editor’s letter saying:
‘We believe that our erotic lives inflect our entire existence. Desire is both intensely personal and can connect us to our common humanity... the idea of a different discourse, and its potential to transform who and how we could be in this world, has become the imagined centre of this project. We hope your experience here is deeply satisfying.’
The contents of this magazine explore desire through poetry, short fiction, book reviews, photography, and a neon-coloured illustrated comic. Plus some appropriately suggestive typography—which, in this second edition, has also been transformed into a set of stickers, included with each copy.
