About

Too Obscene is a one issue literary zine published through Nostrovia! Poetry. The zine focuses on accepting poetry that has been deemed "too obscene" by other presses. Understand though, we are looking for literary merit. Poems are not going to be published in Too Obscene simply because it predicatively uses curse words and is crammed with obscenities. Nostrovia! Poetry is simply offering a home for good poems and powerful prose that was inappropriate for other markets. Too Obscene will be published in print, and made available online through Nostrovia! Poetry and a variety of distributors.
