Buckman Journal 008

Yet again, the folks at Buckman have scoped the scene and printed the best that Portland and the environs has to offer. Short stories, essays, a poem here and there, and a bunch of art from the scene that is bursting at the seams with talent and mad chops.

The latest issue contains stories of unexpected discovery and connections in Uganda, Peru, and of course, the Pacific Northwest. Find notes on the great disorientation, Alaskan bank robberies, exploding whales, and more. Illustrator Allie Sullberg crafted the cover. More exciting visuals by Laura Medina, Daren Todd, and Anastasia Greer, to name a few.  

Jason Glover leads us into the wilderness of the jungle and the human spirit. Tara Stephens offers an excerpt from their visual comic series. Julie Morris shares a short meditation on kissing. Dave Fitzpatrick puts us in the brain of an overworked trucker facing an impending snowstorm. Lauren Johnson revives everyone's favorite expired film-Kodak Ektachrome. 

This anthology gathers an eclectic mix of literature and art for your reading and viewing pleasure, all made by Portlanders. Pick up a copy & be entertained for hours-no screen required! Know your local y'all!
