Lily Pond

Lily Pond is the editor of Yellow Silk, Journal of Erotic Arts. She lives in the San Francisco Bay area, where “the ants are crawling into the hummingbird feeder and the apples are going unpicked on the neighbor’s tree. My mother always said I should finish college but she didn’t tell me it would lead to this. I figure, do what you can while you can, and you probably can much longer than they tell you.”

— From June 1985
Fiction

The Day Of Saint Valentine
