"The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say."
I've been leafing through the 3rd issue of Pank lately and enjoying it quite a bit. Short fiction from Scott Garson, Kathy Fish, Rachel Yoder and more, plus poetry from Daphne Gottlieb, Clay Matthews and more as well. The highlight(s) for me in the issue belonged to Molly Gaudry, and oddly enough, I have no idea how to refer to her pieces - the first, "Beneath Mosquito Netting I Imagine", seemed like prose poetry, and the second, "How a Girl Like Mary Got Giggle Water Drunk in Johnny Oe's Struggle Buggy" feels more like flash fiction. If I had to explain my logic I'd probably say "Uhm" a lot in my reply.Go over and order yourself a copy of this 228 pages of goodness.
Writing is a distinctly human activity.
Awesome!
"How a Girl Like Mary Got Giggle Water Drunk in Johnny Oe's Struggle Buggy" -- awesome!
