SOFT TARGETS is a poetry, criticism and image publication directed by Sang Bleu & Novembre contributors Dan Hoy and Daniel Feinberg.

The issue below was released a long time ago (2006 I think) but I just put my little hands on it. Good stuff.

Ariana Reines claims that the sex parts of good books are usually the worst parts, and that is too bad about good books. Also, it appears that some bad books have good sex in them.

In that case, thirteen writers, each with different backgrounds and experiences, are given the simple brief: write a sex scene.

OK, the cover is dreadful but the book features stories by: Sabina England, Penny Goring, Dan Holloway, Sara Lippmann, Kirsty Logan, Sarah E. Melville, Gary Percesepe, Leah Petersen, Jeff Pfaller, Remittance Girl, Scott C. Rogers, Robert James Russell, and Cherise Wolas.

Surprisingly recommendable.

And guess what, it is downloadable HERE for FREE!

Guten Appetit.
