Upcoming issue of Hyperion from Contra Mundum Press

One of my favorite magazines/journals has been Hyperion: On the Future of Aesthetics, published by Contra Mundum Press. Unfortunately there hasn’t been an issue in four years (see update) but there should be a new issue available later this month. The CMP folks were nice enough to send me the table of contents for the upcoming issue. Since I’m fan of Szentkuthy, I’m especially looking forward to the excerpt from Chapter on Love and the essay Præ-Prae. I’m sure this will be like previous issues where there is a lot to discover and explore. Be on the lookout for it!
