AN ANTHOLOGY OF ART AND WRITINGFULL-COLOR ILLUSTRATED EDITION"It's pleasant being naked, as swimmer or writer or reader.... Naked's a way of being free, unencumbered by garment or censor. There exists no other way of knowing certain things, or oneself, without stripping away." -from the Preface by Debra Di Blasi, editorOne artist and 54 writers accepted the challenge of creatively defining "dirty" in the 21st Century. Mugi Takei's delicate, profane watercolors position the human body within, on and against nature. While some writers surrendered to play through sexually explicit love poetry, bawdy fiction, threesomes, twosomes, onesomes, and all the delightful fantasies and realities in-between, others suggested genocide to be the real dirt of humanity, or offer sexy, new versions of biblical stories. As an anthology, Dirty: Dirty exhibits the beauty, humor, raunch and invention possible when talented artists and writers tackle a very old subject.THE ARTIST: Mugi TakeiTHE WRITERS: Greg Bachar, Elizabeth Burns, Jennifer Calkins, Jane L.
