About the Magazine

Founded in 2020 | United States

Delicate Friend is an adult (18+) quarterly arts and literary magazine centering romance, yearning, eroticism, and other forms of desire and intimacy. We were inspired to create this platform after someone tweeted, “all of the poetry that needed to be written already was […] you don’t need to fuck up this grand tradition talking about having sex with people you met on your iphone [sic].” We thought this sounded like a great idea for a magazine.

Masthead

We currently list only main editors, more will be added later! If you are an editor, you can edit your masthead in our admin panel :)
