VOLUME 2.1 - FAILURE

- from the Editors Note

Last year, Esoterica was to return as a magazine. We failed at this task. But the world continued to fail us too, with racism, homophobia, violence, harassment, hate. So we have returned, in the flavour we had before, with our new co-editor Charlie Gualtieri, to combat the iniquities of the world, with Esoterica.

From colonisation ships to abstract prosody; from portraits of the editor to starving oil painters. This is an issue of failure, as we begin to succeed again.

This issue comes with four individual covers, each styled to the colour schemes of those who failed us: Breitbart, Weinstein, Trump, The Tories. Pick your poison. Pick your failure. Collect your Esoterica.
