We are a professional online magazine
which showcases intelligent and sexy erotic fiction, poetry and art, as
well as information and commentary on sexuality and society. We're looking
for sensual, original work which adds something different to our perspective
on sex and sexuality.
We are looking for poems on a broad range
of erotic themes. We are interested in provocative poems about all
types of lifestyles and cultural perspectives, all forms of sexual play,
and insights on the nature of eroticism. All sex-positive material
will be considered; however, the editors reserve the right to reject
any work based on content or quality.
We
would like to see some of the following in all of the work sent to us:
Sexuality of the oozing kind; clear,
clean, sharp images maybe (or maybe not) cloaked in filigree; explicit
language used in different ways; inventive use of line
breaks, and fresh, fresh metaphors. Allusion, innuendo, crescendo
and diminuendo, and always in blue.
Although the
above applies, the best way to see what we are looking for is to read the
poetry at Clean Sheets.
We do not accept or reject poems solely
on the basis of style, meter, or rhyme. We accept simultaneous submissions
and reprints. Please be sure to note such submissions in your cover letter.
We prefer poems of 100 lines or much shorter.We
request that authors submit no more than three poems per submission, and include
them all in one single email/file.
