Butcher's Dog Issue 9
There’s no getting around it, there’s a lot of filth in this issue; from clitoral feasts to anal fillings – the magazine is full of sex. This came as quite a surprise. We weren’t on the look out for poems of a sexual nature and if we suspected ourselves of selection bias when reading the poems it would, more likely, have been a preference for politically-engaged submissions. But the overtly sexual subject matter of some of these poems is political in its very existence.
