Yellow Silk: Journal of Erotic Arts was a magazine founded by writer, editor, and designer Lily Pond[1] and published quarterly from 1981[2] to 1996[3] on the belief that the erotic should play a more visible role in American arts and letters.[4] The magazine promoted the idea of erotic energy being not only sexual desire but love of any kind.[2] The publisher was Three Rivers Press[2] and the magazine was based in Rhode Island.[5]
