The New Pantagruel

I have a few poems in the inaugural issue of The New Pantagruel: Hymns from the Whorehouse.

The describe themselves as a quarterly electronic journal run by a cadre of intemperate but friendly Catholics and Protestants who have seen other electronic journals run by Christians, and thought that while they might not be able to do better, they could certainly do no worse. The New Pantagruel does not have a doctrinal statement such as is typical for publications of this sort because its creators haven't managed to agree on one.

They say, in various places, that they are interested in playfulness, satire, radicalism, freshness, and protraying the world through the eyes of faith, rather than writing about faith itself. They don't like abstraction, polemic, and "inspirational" work, by which I assume they mean the yah, God stuff you see so much of.

An impressive debut, and possibly a 'zine to keep an eye on.
