What’s black and white and read all over, and also now on its way to our subscribers? That’s right, it’s the newest edition of The Lifted Brow!
Our thirtieth issue is a special one: with fluoro orange paper stock on the cover, additional rear wrap-around art by Freda Chiu, and detailed printed fore-edges also by Freda Chiu. You won’t believe how pretty those fore-edges are, at least not until you watch the video below.
But wait, there’s more: in addition to looking great, TLB30 is also packed with great content, like
- nonfiction from Luke Carman, Antonia Hayes, Dion Kagan, Lee Kofman, Jana Perkovic, Stephanie Van Schilt, Rachel Hennessy, Fregmonto Stokes, Lauren Carroll Harris, Emily Meller, Elizabeth Bryer, Iris Lee, Anezka Sero, Rebecca Jessen, Rosie Funder, Joshua Barnes, and a response to our previous issue’s cover by Hamishi Farah, Aurelia Guo and Zac Segbedzi;
- fiction by Joy Williams, and by Ryan O'Neill;
- comics and artwork from Sam Wallman, Tommi PG, Ines Estrada, Merv Heers, Sam Dexter Davis, Maren Karlson, Grace Wilson, Hamishi Farah, Rachel Ang, Lizzie Nagy, Andy Connor, Aaron Billings, Angelica Roache-Wilson, Haein Kim, Elenor Kopka, Michael Hawkins, Hiro Mcl, Ben Juers, Nancy Liang, Anuj Shrestha, Haejin Park, Dewey Guyen, Jayde Perkin, and Susanna Rose Sykes;
- poetry by Natalie Eilbert, and by Izzy Roberts-Orr;
- and, as always, Benjamin Law and his mum Jenny’s sex and relationships advice column;
How can you get your hands on a copy of this most delicious edition of the Brow, I hear you ask? The answer is, as ever, to subscribe, subscribe, subscribe.
