Photography Books
It seems to us that books of photographs
are a natural for all the spaciousness online.
There is the space (and the time)
to write about them --- and
offer best examples of their worth.

Sex
We aren't much for bare breasts,
naked navels, groinish gambols --- at least online.
But on occasion, the question of lust does come up,
and we try to deal with it in an adult
if not adulterous fashion.
Here are ten from over the years
that caught our eye, and may give you a gasp.
Of mirth.

Art Books
What were the Art books
that came to us over the first few years.
And how did we handle them?
Did our magazine show as much flesh
as most of them did?

Terrific Books
After twenty years,
could we possibly come up with
the names of a dozen or so very best books
from back at the beginning? We can,
and we do it here.

Animals
It is said that a book with the picture
of a cuddly pet on its cover will outsell
all others two to one.
What's with all these grinning monkeys,
dandified pups, querulous cats,
mossy man-eating crocodiles,
all-embracing (and not-so-kissable) boas?

Religion
When we started out,
god was white and white-bearded on his throne, and
all was right with the world. Then we learned that
there were quite a few other gods crowded
together there at the divine table,
waiting to serve and be served.
These are the best we found.

Poetry
The world is lousy with unpublished poets
who, like many of their peers,
are willing to shell out $5,000 - $10,000
to have thin volumes to stack under their beds.
How do our poetry-challenged editors survive the deluge
of would-be Eliots, over-stoned Beats, neo-Gothic Ginsbergs,
quasi-Romantic-Modernists? Who knows?
Here are ten of our favorites from over the years.

Psychology
Since we are all half-mad already,
how did we react to the thousand
neo-Freudian psychotic new interventionist
family therapists beating down
our editorial door
driving us bonkers?
