Banango Lit

Banango is a literary blog that talks about exciting literature. We like to read stuff. We are also Banango Street, a literary journal. You can email us at banangolit (at) gmail (dot) com if you would like to send us stuff to look at, or you can send a link in our Ask box. We will try to look at it but we have learned to avoid making too many promises.

Also, email us if you feel like you would like to be a contributor for Banango. We would like that also.

‘shallow’ – edited by Zachary Whalen
Recommended Reading: four poems by Marshall Mallicoat

Although the name of this webjournal may suggest otherwise, the poetry and prose collected here often evoke a beautiful and complicated existential struggle with what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen in an ennui-ridden post-postmodern iGeneration world.


Hip Hop Hooray Press – edited by Jess Dutschmann
Recommended Reading: an untitled poem by Johnny Vulpine

Originated as a pun on the equally awesome Hiphiphooray Press, this webjournal confirms the sort of equilibrium between literature and rap, offering that hip-hop is not a derivative genre of music, but rather a significant culture in and of itself.


Happy Dog Mom Litjournal
– edited by ???
Recommended Reading:  Handjobs Are Bleak Unless You Have Some Lube, Then They Can Be Pretty Decent, It Mainly Comes Down to Technique, I Guess  by Michelle Whatever

This webjournal seems to have been mystically birthed by the mere will of Ken Baumann, and although many rumors have stirred regarding who the hell edits it, the identity of its creator(s) [and several of its contributors] is still unknown.


Pop Serial – edited by Stephen Tully Dierks
Recommended Reading:  It Is Okay to Feel Catastrophic  by Noah Cicero

Stephen Tully Dierks is arguably one of the most prolific writers of his generation, and his unparalleled literary sharpness and enthusiasm can be exemplified in not only his own work but also the astounding work he solicits for this webjournal.
