PANK Magazine Lives.

My article, THE RISE AND FALL AND RISE OF A GREAT AMERICAN LITERARY JOURNAL is up at LitHub. As one of the new editors with Chris Campanioni and Ashley M. Jones I wanted to share the non-lit Lit Hub fun version, which Lit Hub felt was a little less scrubbed than what they wanted to run. Oh, bureaucracy, but I play nice and accepted the edit. Here’s the original and all of us look forward to dedicating ourselves to the PANK we all know and love.

Dear everyone, We told you back in August that Roxane and I had decided perhaps a decade of publishing PANK Magazine had been enough, that we were ready to move on. Then, a few weeks ago, we dropped that maybe we’d be willing to sell PANK, hand it over to new hands, new blood.

PANK is my favorite lit magazine, and I could always count on you for something with a punch. Sad to see you go (but looking forward to the final issues)! Will the website remain or will it be taken down?

Website will remain as archive. 😃

So long

Dear friends and family, Please accept this brief note as PANK's formal notification of resignation, effective as of the end of this calendar year, 2015. We'll publish one last print issue and two final online issues of PANK Magazine; look for those in the months ahead. We are immeasurably proud of our publications and have boundless gratitude for all the staff, contributors, and each and every reader who has labored alongside us over the last decade. It's been an immensely gratifying ride. PANK loves you. Yours sincerely M. Bartley Seigel, Roxane Gay, & Co.

[PANK] blog :: Books We Can’t Quit :: What begins with bird, by Noy Holland

Noy Holland’s 2005 story collection What begins with bird is a catalogue of conception. The female characters are a host of surrogates charged with the rearing of their own wombs, babies both imaginary and not, and the men are damaged bruisers, temperamental, mentally unstable fathers unaware of their growing broods, lumberjack drop-outs, quick to lose control. Tinged with love and the catatonia and soreness of afterbirth, Holland’s prose forms an ode to the lilt, bulge, hobble, and gilded calamity that is pregnancy, the fallopian galaxy of it, and to the burlesque that is parenthood.

PANK Magazine :: July & August 2015 :: Anxiety of Influence by Andy Powell

Cal. Sentimentalism gone too far is sitting on the curb outside her building the whole night through. Cold and given up on cold for warm dreams of her cozy apartment exorcized of your petulance. Cal. I didn’t mean it, but I did. Your legs kicked out on the dead gray street, leaning back with a cold beer; you aren’t just leaning back in your mind on her couch watching The Good Marriage, The Open (no, not like that) Marriage, or The Decent Marriage, with your arm around her; your smile is slackening, your lips parting. Cal, I saw the shade in the window across the street part; you must have clinked the sidewalk when you put your beer down. You told me the sex was great, but great based on your admission means unoriginal. Cal. You’re in public. Let me guess, she’s stroking you in your mind now, because you’re stroking yourself. A couple is standing in the dark window. You aren’t phased; part of your boundaries problem. You told me about your problem that wasn’t really a problem until she realized what was happening which you couldn’t really help because the sex got to be off the chain. [MORE...]
