According to historians, Banango Lit entered the blogosphere to critical acclaim in June 2011. It was started by Justin Carter and Rachel Hyman, who were united by the vagaries of fate and Emily Dickinson. It wasn’t long before Banango had a Wikipedia citation to our name. We blog about literature and poetry and are especially interested in the intersection of literature and the Internet, nontraditional media, and (ugh, we guess) what it is to be human in this wobbly world.
The inaugural issue of Banango Street, Banango’s literary journal, was released in April 2012.

Authors:
Justin Carter (Editor) reads chapbooks for NAP. His work has appeared at Metazen, New Wave Vomit, and other places. He blogs at http://theghostofbigmoe.blogspot.com/
Rachel Hyman (Editor) lives in Chicago and is an editor for Poetry By Emily Dickinson. She went to poetry camp when she was 13. Her work has appeared at Screaming Seahorse and other places.
Diana Salier is the author of LETTERS FROM ROBOTS (Night Bomb Press, 2012) and WIKIPEDIA SAYS IT WILL PASS (Deadly Chaps Press). She is the poetry editor for NAP. She is wearing striped pajamas. Say hello at dianasalier.com.
Matt Margo is a writer and student living in northeastern Ohio. He manages a blog known as Cormac McCarthy’s Dead Typewriter and sometimes shamefully cheats on Banango by contributing to Bulk Culture.
Katey Metcalf is always a mess and always has flowers in her hair. She hearts DFW, Delillo, and a third D-name more than anything else in her life (excepting Amazon pre-orders, which are objectively the best). Her first and only chapbook lightning/lightening is about a crazy person who may or may not be her, and she blogs irregularly at Bougainvillea in Blue.
Thom James is an 18 year old student from Britain. He has been published in HOUSEFIRE and Pulpit Magazine and will soon be published in Side B Magazine and Marco Polo Art Magazine. You may see him doing poetry talks alongside Pighog Press in May 2012 at the Brighton Fringe Festival, and many other poetry events around the UK. If he hasn’t passed out yet from his diet of cheap whiskey and noodles, you can contact him on Twitter and Facebook.
