And no, Esopus is not some new type of STD....Esopus is an art magazine full of inspiration. I plan on keeping issues as coffee table books. [The latest issue has a fold out poster from famed photographer Richard Misrach!] It's more expensive than MAD and JUGGS but so what - it's worth it!

Following is cut from their website: www.esopusmag.com
"Esopus is a twice-yearly arts magazine featuring fresh, unmediated perspectives on the contemporary cultural landscape from artists, writers, filmmakers, playwrights, photographers, architects, designers, musicians, and other creative professionals. It includes long-form artists’ projects, critical writing, fiction, interviews, and, in each issue, a CD of specially commissioned music.

Published by the non-profit Esopus Foundation Ltd., the magazine has a simple editorial mission: to provide an accessible, non-commercial space in which creative people and the public can connect in meaningful ways."

AWESOME!
