PANK = Productive, Awesome, Notable, Kickass Writers
[Roxane Gay / November 19th, 2009 / Contributor Notes ]This week, there’s a new issue of PANK which features really wonderful writing. If I had to recommend a starting place, I’d suggest Helen Vitoria’s We Were Horses and Joe Stracci’s The Fourth and Cristin O’Keefe Aptowicz’s The Air Up There and, oh hell, just go read everything.
