Banango Street: A Literary Journal

»ISSUE 1 NOW UP HERE«

Features writing from Russ Woods, Gregory Sherl, Gabby Gabby, and more.

Banango Street is a literary journal. Submissions will be re-opened at a later date.

This is what we are about:

Life moves really, really fast. Ferris Bueller had no idea. Millions upon millions of bytes being dropped into your computer, your phone, your brain, every waking hour of every day. It’s hard to keep up with it all, and even more, it’s numbing. If you can’t tune in to everything, you start to tune out. Things slip through the cracks.

One of the biggest questions we pose at Banango Lit is “Why write?” Why write, indeed. Words are magic. David Foster Wallace wrote that “sometimes words that seem to express really invoke.”

Writing should invoke. Banango Street celebrates the power of words. We want writing that causes us to feel things. Sad things. Happy things. Banango Street aims to capture the up-and-coming writers who feel, and make us feel. Being human is non-trivial. Remind us what that means.
