Kyosaku is an occasional publication dedicated to fostering a healthy zeal for poetry, humor, beauty and life in an age when many are all too prepared to shove Art's fat ass out the door and curl up with dopey New Age shinola or turn on Hard Copy. We at Kyosaku are convinced that, by funneling our piss and vinegar into a digest-sized compendium of the best poetry, prose and art we can gather, we can slowly chop away at the sturdy stump of Apathy and Convention until the putrid tree tumbles like a statue of a fallen figurehead. Artistic rebellion is the least blatant but most gratifying means of spitting on society's shoes.

Kyosaku is no longer being published.
